Although widely used outside the United States, bacillus of Calmette and Guérin (BCG) immunization generally is given scant consideration in the US literature. We believe that the recent resurgence of tuberculosis, including multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, is a compelling argument for the use of BCG in healthcare workers and that BCG given to those at risk of exposure could be more effective than routine tuberculin skin testing and isoniazid prophylaxis
尽管卡介苗（BCG）免疫接种在美国以外地区广泛使用，但美国文献中对此普遍很少提及。我们认为，近期结核病（包括耐多药结核病）的再度流行，有力地支持了医护人员接种卡介苗，而且给有接触风险的人群接种卡介苗可能比常规结核菌素皮肤试验和异烟肼预防更有效。
