[Effect of atypical mycobacteria infections on BCG immunization in man (author's transl)]
Abstract:
The influence of atypical mycobacteria infections on BCG responses was studied in 1,038 schoolchildren. A comparaison of the sizes of the scars and a study of control tuberculin tests 10 weeks later confirm the experimental results and suggest that there is a protective effect against tuberculosis induced by atypical mycobacteria.
