[BCG vaccination of children with differing perinatal pathology]
Information on 586 newborns with perinatal abnormalities who were not given BCG vaccination in the maternity homes of Novosibirsk is analysed. The most common causes of BCG vaccination refusal were intrauterine hypotrophy (35%), CNS affection (29.2%) and prematurity (22.7%). A follow-up of 693 children with perinatal abnormalities who received BCG vaccination in polyclinics has shown that this vaccination is sufficiently effective and the course of the vaccination reaction does not differ from that in children who were vaccinated in the maternity homes. It has been concluded that BCG vaccination can be given to the majority of children with perinatal abnormalities within the first 2 months of life provided their condition is satisfactory.
