    Abstract:
    To clarify the importance of vaccination with BCG and its' real value in relationship to tuberculosis prevention authors have studied 53 cases admitted in the last six years, paying special attention to epidemiological data. The number of serious types of tuberculosis in not vaccinated children with BCG is statistically significant (p less than 0.05). It is also remarkable in 45.3% of the cases the presence of a bacilar focus in the family as well as the high index of infection greater than 7% in our infantile population. These results and absence of a good epidemiological study in our country lead us to advice the maintenance of BCG vaccination in the newborn.
