Abstract
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 1 week of age, and 29.09% at 1 month of age (p<0.05). 2) The complications of BCG vaccine such as BCGitis, BCG lymphadenitis and lymph node abscess were noted in 5 cases. There was no significant difference between the neonates who received vaccine within 1 week after birth and the infants who received vaccine at 1 month of age (p>0.05).
Key Words: BCG vaccine, PPD conversion rate, Neonate.
