Abstract:
A case-control study carried out in Yaounde (Cameroon) shows that the protective effect of BCG against pulmonary tuberculosis in the young adult was 66% (relative risk 0.34). This result is not affected by taking into account various factors such as sex, age, socio-economic class and geographical origin.
