Danish BCG vaccine-induced disease found in HIV-infected children.
2003 DEC 10 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Danish bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine-induced disease was found in human immunodeficiency virus-infected children.
According to a study from South Africa, "An analysis of isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex was performed to determine the prevalence of bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) disease among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected children. Speciation was done with polymerase chain reaction; 183 isolates from mycobacterial cultures for 49 HIV-infected patients were analyzed."
"The Danish Mycobacterium bovis BCG strain was isolated from five patients," reported A. C. Hesseling and collaborators at Stellenbosch University. "No cases of Tokyo M. bovis BCG strain disease were detected. All patients were asymptomatic at birth,
"Although chest radiographic features were similar to those seen in patients with tuberculosis, BCG disease should be considered in HIV-infected infants with right axillary adenitis ipsilateral to the vaccination site," concluded the researchers. "Young, symptomatic, HIV-infected infants are at risk for BCG-related complications. Controlled, population-based studies are needed to assess the risk of BCG in HIV-infected children."
