BCG scar has been used as an indicator of vaccination with BCG in the past, but the validity of scar among HIV-positive children is still unknown. The validity of BCG scar reading among such children was estimated, using three different gold standards. The sensitivity ranged from 81.3% (95%-CI: 78.0-84.2) to 91.6% (95%-CI: 88.4-94.0), when the gold standards were, respectively, information from the adult responsible for the child and the vaccination card. The specificity ranged from 90.5% (95% CI: 81.6-95.5) to 94.1% (95% CI: 87.7-97.4), when the gold standards were, respectively, the vaccination card and information from the adult responsible for the child. Reading of BCG scar was shown to be a good indicator for vaccination in the past, among HIV-infected children.
BCG 疤痕过去曾被用作卡介苗接种的指标,但 HIV 阳性儿童的疤痕有效性仍不清楚。使用三种不同的金标准评估了此类儿童的 BCG 疤痕读数的有效性。当金标准分别为负责儿童的成人的信息和疫苗接种卡时,灵敏度范围为 81.3%(95%-CI:78.0-84.2)至 91.6%(95%-CI:88.4-94.0)。当金标准分别为疫苗接种卡和负责儿童的成人的信息时,特异性范围为 90.5%(95%CI:81.6-95.5)至 94.1%(95%CI:87.7-97.4)。在过去,BCG 疤痕的读取被证明是 HIV 感染儿童接种疫苗的良好指标。
