ABSTRACT
The main purpose of the controled assay on a combination of B.C.G. and measles vaccine was to ascertain whether these two vaccines could be administered on young children in simultaneous injections, in two different parts of the body and on the same day, and whether in that case they led to rates of haemagglutination inhibitory antibodies against measles on the one hand, and induration diameters of Mantoux's intradermoreactions against B.C.G. on the other, not inferior to rates and diameters obtained when using the same vaccines separately. This survey, carried out in Cameroon, involved one thousand individuals. It confirms the suggestion that the two vaccinations may be carried out simultaneously when circumstances require an early and total protection of a child population with minimum sanitary stress.

La lutte contre la lèpre entreprise despuis l953 en Afrique centrale a entraînè des rèsultsts différents selon les Etats, mais très spectaculaires en R.C.A. et aussi au Tchad. En R.C.A. où la prèvalence est passée en quelques années de plus de 5 por cento à 2, 42 por cento, plus de 90 por cento des malades restant en compte ne présentent plus de lésion, et 40 por cento de ceux qui ont été pris en compte depuis le début de la campagne ont pu être dèclarés guèris at rayés des contrôles. Ces mêmes résultants pourraient être obtenus dans les autres Etats, en adoptant les méthodes utilisées en R.C.A. ou au tchad: circuits vélo réguliers maintenus sans relâchement et traitant par comprimés ou auto traitement bien contrôlé après une période assez longue de circuits réguliers. Le résultats dépendent moins de probléms techniques que de problèmes humains, et il convient surtout d`obtenir de la discipline et de la conscience de la part des responsables, ce qui semble difficile de la part d`infirmiers fonctionnaires statiques et embourgeoisés
