Abscesses at the site of BCG injection are frequently reported. It is often assumed that this is due to bad technique, as the injection should be given intra-cutaneaously and an accidental intramuscular injection may result. Proximal lymph node swelling and abscess formation may rarely occur. If the injection is given at the correct site, over insertion of Deltoid in the upper arm, the swelling will develop in the axillary lymph nodes. See similar questions...

Answer: A BCG mentor typically answers questions about certification and reviews areas of work about which a prospective applicant feels uncertain. However, a mentor cannot critique or “edit” your portfolio materials or provide detailed guidance on any work product you will be submitting. A mentor could review a similar work product and critique your strengths and weaknesses but would not assist you with that research. See similar questions...

Studies carried out by the British Medical Research Council in the 1950s showed that BCG, when given to teenage school children gave about 75% protection for 15 years.(1). From 1953 until July 2005 it was national policy to vaccinate all children aged 12-13. Thus in theory the entire population received protection from early teenage years through to about the age of 30. The reason for choosing that age range was because in the 1950s cases rates were highest in young adults. See similar questions...

Some workers believe that it is(5). This is because the BCG vaccine is continually being reproduced as part of the manufacturing process and in common with other live organisms, which undergo this process, may be becoming less virulent and therefore less able to provide immunity to those who are vaccinated. This is another area of controversy . BCG converts the tuberculin test from negative to positive. See similar questions...

BCG is a vaccine for TB. This vaccine is not widely used in the United States, but it is often given to infants and small children in other countries where TB is common. If you were vaccinated with BCG, you may have a positive reaction to a TB skin test. This reaction may be due to the BCG vaccine itself or to a real TB infection. If you have a positive reaction to the skin test, your doctor or nurse may do other tests to see if you have TB disease. See similar questions...

BCG is a vaccine for TB, and is the most common vaccine used in the world. Although it may cause a positive skin test reaction, BCG has not been shown to be completely effective and TB disease is common among BCG-vaccinated persons. Persons who have had BCG and have a positive skin test reaction should be evaluated for tuberculosis. See similar questions...

Answer: BCG asks to see a client’s authorization for both legal and evaluative purposes. While BCG needs to ensure there is no legal barrier to its circulation of client material, its portfolio evaluators also need to appraise how well the researcher fulfills a client’s mission and directives. Whether a researcher is paid by a client or not, the preliminary discussions might go through several stages before they come to a meeting of the minds on how to proceed. See similar questions...

No, mainly because of variation in trial results. Most countries give BCG at birth to provide protection in the early years when infection can often lead to devastating widespread disease such as miliary tuberculosis or tuberculous meningitis. This is particularly important in high prevalence countries where the chance of being infected in very early life is high. Some countries such as the USA have chosen not to use it because most trials there have not shown any protective effect. See similar questions...
