Abstract

This paper describes a matched case-control study to determine the efficacy of BCG vaccine in preventing the occurrence of leprosy in southern Malaŵi, a previously unstudied area. The BCG immunization rate amongst 145 individuals with leprosy was 44.8%, compared to 62.5% in 290 matched controls. The protective efficacy of BCG vaccine against leprosy in this region was estimated to be 63.6%; smallpox immunization had no effect. These findings support the view that BCG vaccine should be considered as a control measure in areas where leprosy is endemic.

摘要

本文描述了一项配对病例对照研究,以确定卡介苗在预防马拉维南部(一个此前未被研究的地区)麻风病发生方面的疗效。145名麻风病患者的卡介苗接种率为44.8%,而290名配对对照者的接种率为62.5%。据估计,该地区卡介苗对麻风病的保护效力为63.6%;天花疫苗接种则无效果。这些发现支持了这样一种观点,即在麻风病流行地区,应将卡介苗视为一种控制措施。
