  • Title: [Specific risk factors of the development of early period of primary tuberculous infection in children].
    Author: Khodzitskaia VK, Zosimov AN.
    Journal: Probl Tuberk; 1994; (5):7-9. PubMed ID: 7870736.
    Abstract:
    The role of the tuberculosis contact and specific BCG immunoprophylaxis in the onset of early primary tuberculosis is investigated. Primary infection from tuberculous and healthy families depended on BCG quality, the number of BCG vaccination marks and postvaccination time. Upon the comparison of informative value of specific and nonspecific factors it was found that specific factors are leading in pathogenesis of present-day primary tuberculosis infection.
