This study aimed to investigate the association between Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination and nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD). Patients in the prospective NTM-PD cohort were matched to healthy controls to measure the association between BCG and NTM-PD development. The clinical course of NTM-PD patients was also evaluated to investigate the association between BCG and NTM-PD progression. BCG scars were not associated with NTM-PD development (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 2.04; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.96-4.34) or progression (adjusted OR, 1.61; 95% CI, 0.92-2.81). In conclusion, BCG vaccination was not associated with the development or progression of NTM-PD.

Purpose: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant public health concern globally. Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination is widely used, but scar formation post-vaccination is not universal, which raises concerns about its efficacy. The Mantoux test is used to assess the immune response following BCG vaccination.

While bacille-calmette-guerin (BCG) vaccination is one of the recommended strategies for preventing tuberculosis (TB), its coverage is low in several countries, including Ethiopia. This study investigated the spatial co-distribution and drivers of TB prevalence and low BCG coverage in Ethiopia. This ecological study was conducted using data from a national TB prevalence survey and the Ethiopian demographic and health survey (EDHS) to map the spatial co-distribution of BCG vaccination coverage and TB prevalence.

This study aimed to assess the influence of exposure intensity to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), age, and Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination on LTBI prevalence in Morocco.
Methods: A cross-sectional study of 131 participants, including 98 non-exposed healthy volunteers (NEHV) and 33 healthcare workers exposed to active TB (exposed healthcare workers [EHCW]), was conducted.

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of combining transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) with Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) intravesical instillation in treating high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (HRNMIBC).
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data from 118 HRNMIBC patients treated at Tongren Hospital between March 2020 and June 2022. The patients were categorized into two groups based on their treatment regimen: the control group (n=60) which received regular pirarubicin intravesical instillation, and the observation group (n=58) which received additional BCG intravesical instillation alongside pirarubicin.

The only currently licensed vaccine against tuberculosis (TB), Bacille Calmette Guérin (BCG), is insufficient to control the epidemic. MTBVAC is a live attenuated strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) and is one the most advanced TB vaccine candidates in the pipeline.
