| 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).
