"BCG, the most common vaccine worldwide, has broad effects on the immune system," stated M.L. Barreto and colleagues, University Fed Bahia. "Hookworm infections are a major source of morbidity. In response to a preliminary report of BCG vaccination protection against nematodes in human immunodeficiency virus-infected adults, data from an ongoing prospective study were analyzed to determine the intensity (eggs per gram of stool), prevalence, and incidence of different helminths in children with and without a BCG vaccination scar."
