Introduction. BCG, or bacille Calmette-Guerin, is a vaccine for tuberculosis (TB) disease. Many foreign-born persons have been BCG-vaccinated. BCG is used in many countries with a high prevalence of TB to prevent childhood tuberculous meningitis and miliary disease.
And indeed thatâs the reason why HIV-infected people are more susceptible to TB - because HIV damages your T-cells. So the vaccine that we have developed works by boosting the T-cells which are induced by BCG.â. TB is a major cause of death among the HIV-positive.
