  • Title: Management of adverse reactions to bacille Calmette-Guérin vaccine.
    Author: FitzGerald JM.
    Journal: Clin Infect Dis; 2000 Sep; 31 Suppl 3():S75-6. PubMed ID: 11010827.
    Abstract:
    Published reports appear to underestimate the true rate of adverse reactions to bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine. At a recent national conference on tuberculosis control among aboriginal populations, lack of awareness of what constitutes an adverse reaction was considered a possible contributing factor to underreporting. The following review defines a normal BCG response and discusses the management of complications when they occur.
