Toll-like receptor 2 expression on monocytes from patients with BCG vaccine-associated suppurative lymphadenitis
Hyun Joo Oh, Kyung-Sue Shin
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2009;52(6):667-673.   Published online June 15, 2009
Purpose : Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) is critical in the immune response to mycobacterial infections. The purpose of this study was to analyze TLR2 surface expressions and TLR2-mediated tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) production in patients with BCG vaccine-associated suppurative lymphadenitis. Methods : Peripheral monocytes were separated from 16 patients with BCG vaccine-associated suppurative lymphadenitis and 10 healthy...

Hey Sung Baek, Ji Young Chang, Su Ji Moon, Sung Hee Oh
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2006;49(1):46-50.   Published online January 15, 2006
Purpose : Intradermal BCG vaccine has not well been accepted by pediatric practitioners due to BCG lymphadenitis. Therefore, this study was undertaken to find out the incidence of lymphadenitis following intradermal BCG vaccination and its clinical outcome. Methods : One thousand and fifty infants, who received intradermal BCG(French 1173 P2, Korea Tuberculosis Association) vaccination in the Well Baby Clinic of Hanyang...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2006;49(1):40-45.   Published online January 15, 2006
Purpose : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the types of lymphadenitis after BCG vaccination and the effect of local rifampicin instillation on the treatment of suppurative BCG lymphadenitis. Methods : A total of 32 otherwise healthy infants with suppurative BCG lymphadenitis, who visited the Department of Pediatrics of Chonbuk National University Hospital, from March 2002 through June 2004,...

Jeong Hee Kim, Dae Hyun Lim, Byung Kwan Son, Sei Woo Chung,, Jeong Gyu Kim, Seung Yeon Nam, Sang Il Lee, Jin A Son
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1999;42(11):1502-1507.   Published online November 15, 1999
Purpose : Mantoux test was widely used to identify the tuberculosis. But no reliable method exists for distinguishing tuberculin reactions caused by previous BCG vaccination from those caused by mycobacterial infections. So we studied Mantoux response in infants who had received BCG vaccination in the first month of life. Methods : Mantoux testing was carried out in 143 healthy infants...
PPD Conversion Rate and Complications According to the Different Time of BCG Vaccination.
Kyung Hyo Kim, Seung Joo Lee, Keun Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1987;30(5):487-490.   Published online May 31, 1987
BCG vaccination shortly after birth has shown to protect against tuberculosis in some studies. PPD conversion rate and complications were compared between 174 neonates who received BCG vaccine within 1 week after birth and 330 infants who received BCG vaccine at the 1 month of age. The results were as follows: 1) The PPD conversion rate was 20.11% in the neonates who received vaccine within...
