TI  - Effectiveness of Bacillus Calamette Guerin (BCG) vaccination against genital 
      tuberculosis: a case-control study.
PG  - 345-9
AB  - A hospital-based pair-matched case-control study was performed at Government 
      Medical College Hospital, Nagpur, to estimate the effectiveness of Bacillus 
      Calmette Guerin (BCG) vaccination against genital tuberculosis. The study 
      included 48 cases of genital tuberculosis in the age group of 21-34 years and an 
      equal number of controls, matched for age and socioeconomic status. The estimates 
      of vaccine effectiveness and prevented fraction were higher for the subjects in 
      the age group of 21-30 years and subjects from middle strata of socioeconomic 
      class. The overall vaccine effectiveness and prevented fraction was estimated to 
      be 75 (38.85-89.79) and 49.99 (17.46-74.55) per cent respectively. Results of 
      this study thus indicate that BCG vaccination is effective against genital 
      tuberculosis.
