After a summary of main defences to prevent tubercular disease, Author refers that only 0,5% of 159,204 BCG-vaccinated subjects at his Institute contracted tuberculosis. Other data confirm that the rôle of an healthy environment is important to prevent the disease, also without BCG intervention and that BCG alone can defend from tuberculosis also without the influence of an healthy environment. A risk environment reduces the BCG effectiveness, but not so significantly. Then the BCG vaccination showed itself an useful means of preventing tuberculosis that today is still indispensable as first antitubercular protection.
在总结了预防结核病的主要防御措施后，作者指出，在他所在的研究所接种卡介苗的159,204名受试者中，只有0.5%感染了结核病。其他数据证实，健康的环境对于预防该疾病很重要，即使没有卡介苗干预也是如此，而且仅卡介苗在没有健康环境影响的情况下也能预防结核病。危险环境会降低卡介苗的效力，但影响并不显著。因此，卡介苗接种已证明是预防结核病的一种有效手段，如今作为首要的抗结核保护措施仍然不可或缺。
