Description

Following the p revious study on guinea pigs (Kekkaku, 36: 685, 1962), the author tried BCG vaccination repeatedly to tuberculin positive-school children. About 5800 tuberculin-negative children were vaccinated with BCG by means of transcutaneous or epicutaneous methods of inoculation, such as, scarification, inunction and label methods. The BCG vaccines used were prepared with carbowax, lanoline, unguent hydrophil, physiological solution, pilocarpine, hyaluronidase, silica sand and/or emery.<BR>To about 2500 among the 5800 children, two more vaccinations of BCG were performed successively 3and 6 months after the primary vaccination, in the same way as mentioned above, irrespective of whether their tuberculin reactions were positive or negative. Local complications at the vaccination sites and tuberculin reactions were examined 3, 6 and 12months after the primary vaccination of BCG.
