Abstract

The effectiveness of B.C.G. Vaccination may be measured in terms of number of cases prevented. The results indicate that B.C.G. might be a cheap and effective tool in the fight against tuberculosis even in areas with non-specific sensitivity within certain prevalence limits of infection and non-specific sensitivity.
