Estimativa do risco de infecção tuberculosa em populações vacinadas pelo BCG

Abstract: ARANTES, G. R. et al. Estimativa do risco de infecção tuberculosa em populações vacinadas pelo BCG. Rev. Saúde públ., S. Paulo, 26: 96-107, 1992. A revacinação de escolares com BCG, capaz de restaurar a alergia remanescente de vacinação realizada nos primeiros meses de vida, porém incapaz de modificar a alergia devida à infecção pelo M. tuberculosis, possibilitaria a quantificação da parcela dessa população infectada pelo bacilo de Koch. Foi desenvolvida pesquisa com o objetivo de avaliar a aplicabilidade dess… Show more

“…However, in a later study, the same author demonstrated, based on a mathematical model, that BCG vaccination at that stage of life did not affect infection risk calculations, thus qualifying the TST for that purpose. 7 On the other hand, since the present study involved only contacts of TB patients, and considering that M. tuberculosis elicits a more potent and long-lasting immunogenic response than BCG vaccination, 7 one can assume that more intense tuberculin reactions are a sign of TB infection, and that the role of BCG has been minimized. Likewise, revaccination with BCG, ongoing in Rio de Janeiro since 1994, is not likely to have interfered with TST results in the present study.…”

“…The indication of preventive therapy for vaccinated children or for children older than five years was due to these children -some of which were also malnourished -being in intimate contact with bacilliferous adults, and to tuberculin conversion. 7,18 The MoH currently recommends preventive therapy for children under age 15 years who are contacts of bacilliferous TB patients, have no sign of active TB, and have not received BCG vaccination but are TST reactive at = 10mm, or who have received BCG but are reactive at = 15mm. 14 Of the 25 cases of TB in the present study, 23 were household contacts, which highlights the importance of contact proximity to the risk of infection.…”

“…Estes, quando são adequadamente desenhados, atentam para cuidados metodológicos e limitações próprias ao método que incluem o tipo de tuberculina utilizada (derivado protéico purificado), as técnicas de aplicação e leitura do teste, e os efeitos biológicos relacionados a condições individuais tais como: idade, situação imunológica e condições médicas associadas (diabetes, neoplasias, AIDS, entre outras). Além disto, a presença de microbactérias ambientais e altas coberturas vacinais por BCG também podem influenciar a interpretação dos resultados do teste 24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33 .…”
