  • Seasonal variation in the non-specific effects of BCG vaccination on neonatal mortality

    Open AccessKristoffer Jarlov Jensen, Sofie Biering-Sørensen et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

    The BCG vaccine protects non-specifically against other diseases than tuberculosis. Three randomised controlled trials of early BCG in Guinea-Bissau found a 38% reduction in all-cause neonatal mortality. Little is known about the underlying mechanisms. In Guinea-Bissau, prevalent infectious diseases display distinct seasonality. Revisiting the three trials (>6500 infants) comparing early BCG versus no early BCG in low weight infants on all-cause …

  • BCG skin reactions by 2 months of age are associated with better survival in infancy

    Open AccessFrederik Schaltz‐Buchholzer, Mike Berendsen et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

    INTRODUCTION: Receiving Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG)-Denmark vaccine at birth has been associated with ~40% reductions in all-cause neonatal mortality. We evaluated determinants of BCG skin reaction characteristics by age 2 months and tested the association with subsequent mortality. METHODS: Prospective observational study amalgamating five trials providing BCG-at-birth that were conducted between 2002 and 2018 in Guinea-Bissau. The reaction st…
