Journal Title: Здоров`я дитини - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 60

Abstract

BCG vaccination remains relevant because of the tense epidemiological situation on tuberculosis in Ukraine. BCG vaccines are safe, but when they are used, there is a risk of complications. In the Donetsk region, from 2004 to 2008 the proportion of complications after immunization did not exceed 0.09 %, from 2008 to 2012 their growth was marked up to 0.6 %. It was found that it was associated with the use of BCG vaccine manufactured by Statens Serum Institut (Denmark). In 2008, cases of BCG-induced osteitis on BCG and BCG-M vaccine (strain BCG-1, Russian Federation) were detected firstly in the region, earlier such cases were considered as bone tuberculosis.
