| Video Discription | Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is the live attenuated vaccine form of Mycobacterium bovis used to prevent tuberculosis and other mycobacterial infections. The vaccine was developed by Calmette and Guérin and was first administered to human beings in 1921. BCG is the only vaccine against tuberculosis. It is the most widely administered vaccine and usually a part of the routine newborn immunization schedule. BCG vaccine also offers protection against non-tuberculous mycobacteria infection like leprosy and Buruli ulcer. It is also used in the treatment of superficial carcinoma of the bladder. Prior to the mycobacterial infection, vaccine-induced immunity can protect against subsequent. Protection is usually due to the immune response to mycobacterial antigens. BCG vaccine may offer protection against infections due to nontuberculous mycobacteria. Studies have shown that BCG vaccine decreases the risk of disease due to Mycobacterium leprae by 50 to 80 percent. BCG is a live vaccine and should not be given to: Immunocompromised persons with congenital immunodeficiency HIV infection Malignancy To those taking immunosuppressive drugs such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha blockers and corticosteroids A single dose of M. bovis bacillus Calmette-Guérin immunotherapy has a great therapeutic benefit in the treatment of non-invasive form of bladder cancer.
