Object of dissertation: The influence of different BCG vaccination schedules on the tuberculin reactivity, BCG scarring, specific serology and allergy. 509 children were included in this research, all of them received BCG vaccination with standard or half dosage as newborns or 3-months old. 3 months after BCG vaccination and at one, two, and six years of age they were tested with tuberculin, and examined for BCG scarring. Anti-tuberculosis antibodies were detected in sera and children were evaluated for allergy. In conclusions of the dissertation it is declared, that 3 months after BCG vaccination and at 1 year of age children, vaccinated as 3 months - old had stronger tuberculin reactions and better BCG scarring, in comparison to neonatal vaccination. Clear consistent patterns in anti-tuberculosis antibody levels were not established. BCG vaccination at 3 months of age reduced the risk of food –related allergic rash for girls in preschool period.
