	BCG vaccine Pediatric Oncall (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		BCG vaccine is a live bacterial vaccine given for protection against tuberculosis, mainly severe forms of childhood tuberculosis.
		BCG is given anytime from birth to 15 days of life along with the zero dose of oral polio vaccine.
		Also, by convention BCG scars are looked for over the left arm & hence it is easier to recognize for the doctor when parents do not remember whether BCG was given in the past or not.

	Division of Tuberculosis Elimination - Fact Sheets - BCG Vaccine
		BCG, or bacille Calmette-Guérin, is a vaccine for tuberculosis (TB) disease.
		BCG is used in many countries with a high prevalence of TB to prevent childhood tuberculous meningitis and miliary disease.
		However, BCG is not generally recommended for use in the United States because of the low risk of infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the variable effectiveness of the vaccine against adult pulmonary TB, and the vaccine’s potential interference with tuberculin skin test reactivity.

	WHO \| BCG - the current vaccine for tuberculosis
		BCG was first used as a vaccine to protect humans against tuberculosis in 1921.
		Indeed, the "original" strain of BCG maintained at in Paris had continued to change during the subcultures needed to maintain the viability of the culture.
		BCG is widely used and the safety of this vaccine has not been a serious issue until recently.

	The Role of BCG Vaccine in the Prevention and Control of Tuberculosis in the United States A Joint Statement by the ...
		BCG vaccination should be considered for infants and children who reside in settings in which the likelihood of M. tuberculosis transmission and subsequent infection is high, provided no other measures can be implemented (e.g., removing the child from the source of infection).
		BCG vaccination is not recommended for children and adults who are infected with human immunodeficiency virus because of the potential adverse reactions associated with the use of the vaccine in these persons.
		BCG vaccines are live vaccines derived from a strain of Mycobacterium bovis that was attenuated by Calmette and Guerin at the Pasteur Institute in Lille, France (29).

	CDC Core Curriculum: BCG Vaccination (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		BCG vaccination is not generally recommended in the United States because of the low risk of infection and the variable effectiveness of the BCG vaccine.
		Because BCG varies so widely in effectiveness and because the reasons for this variation are unknown, estimates of its effectiveness in different populations cannot be translated directly to equal protective effects in individuals.
		BCG is contraindicated in persons who have an impaired immune response (e.g., persons who have HIV infection, leukemia, or lymphoma) or who are immunosuppressed because of steroids, alkylating agents, antimetabolites, or radiation therapy.

		The reaction from BCG fades over time, and adults who were vaccinated as children should consider a positive skin test as true TB infection.

	BCG manual page
		The BCG format is a computer representation for labelled transition systems, Kripke structures, and, more generally, state/transition models (hereafter called graphs) which are generated for the modelling of concurrent systems.
		The BCG format is independent from any particular model-based verification technique; it can be used either by tools performing graph comparison and reduction modulo equivalence relations, or by tools checking properties expressed in temporal logics.
		This is especially useful, since it is possible to establish a connection between the behaviour of a BCG graph and the source program from which the BCG graph was generated.

		Exactly how BCG works in the bladder is still a mystery, but research suggests it may stimulate a protective immune response and downplay a harmful one in the IC bladder.
		If BCG fulfills the promise of earlier studies, it could profoundly alter disease management and patients’ quality of life, which has been described as worse than being on kidney dialysis.

	FAQ about BCG
		The limited length of time for which BCG appeared to be protective would therefore be maximal at the age when most people suffered from the disease.
		This is because the BCG vaccine is continually being reproduced as part of the manufacturing process and in common with other live organisms, which undergo this process, may be becoming less virulent and therefore less able to provide immunity to those who are vaccinated.
		BCG is not given as it is believed to interfere with the interpretation of the tuberculin test.

		The Israeli government routinely immunized newborns with BCG until the practice was stopped in 1982 (Zilber, Simchen, Wartskiet al.1984).
		Since the discontinuation of the BCG vaccine at birth there has been a gradual increase in the incidence of IDDM in the younger populations in Israel (Shamis, Gordon, Albaget al.1997).

	Sloan-Kettering - Bladder Cancer: Treatment
		BCG uses inactivated tuberculosis bacteria (which cannot cause tuberculosis) to produce an inflammatory response in the bladder that controls tumor growth.
		Our researchers are also evaluating new drugs, including gemcitabine (Gemzar), for the treatment of superficial bladder cancer in patients for whom BCG therapy is not successful in controlling tumor growth.
		Surgery to remove the bladder is the most common treatment for invasive bladder cancer -- cancer that has spread into or beyond the muscle layer of the bladder wall -- and provides the best opportunity for a long-term cure for most patients.

		DESCRIPTION PACIS BCG, Live (for intravesical use), is a lyophilized preparation of an attenuated strain of Mycobacterium bovis (Bacillus Calmette-Gukin [BCG], substrain Montreal) which has been grown on glycerinized potato medium followed by further passages on Sauton medium.
		It promotes a local inflammatory reaction with histiocytic and leukocytic infiltration in the urinary bladder that is apparently associated with an elimination or reduction of superficial cancerous lesions.
		The first is the original randomized study of BCG for the treatment of superficial bladder cancer, which was initiated in 1978.

	Honours - Immunology Unit - The University of Sydney
		Although BCG became available in 1921 for use as a tuberculosis vaccine, suggestions that bacterial products could have a role in cancer therapy date back to the late 19th century.
		BCG is now commonly used as a treatment for bladder cancer, and in general has proved more effective than chemotherapy, especially when trials have been weighted towards more aggressive disease.
		The success of BCG is though to be due to the induction of cytokines and activated immuno-effector cells that result in improved recognition and killing of tumour cells by both non-specific and specific mechanisms.
