[Comparative study of two dried intradermal BCG vaccines (author's transl)]. / Etude comparative de deux vaccins BCG secs intradermiques.

Two BCG vaccines prepared from the same strain were studied clinically in Indonesia and in France. The concentration in culturable particles was comparable. Observed differences in the Mantoux results are discussed. The French results, based on use in a temperate climate by a specialized team, on well nourished children, appear better than the Indonesian findings. Further steps should be undertaken to improve results in Indonesia.
