Measles vaccine failure is a well-recognized although not fully understood outcome of immunization. Because seropositivity has generally correlated with both naturally and vaccine-acquired protection, seroconversion used as an indicator efficacy. Failure to seroconvert classified primary attributed neutralization the attenuated virus by persistent maternal antibody in infants younger than 12 months age1–3 or inadequate The latter may be consequence storage conditions and/or handling...
We conducted a case-control study to evaluate the effectiveness of BCG vaccination in preventing childhood tuberculosis (TB) Cali, Colombia. ascertained 178 cases aged 0 14 years from respiratory clinics with cough or fever for at least three weeks and positive chest X-ray TB, as well 320 controls who were same households but had no symptoms negative X-rays.

Although the information derived from biological markers could conceivably be used to overcome some of problems intrinsic virtually all epidemiologic study designs-case definition, true exposure level, host susceptibility and resistance factors interest, misclassification subjects (false positive false negative test results), etc.-, we are still unable resolve such with tools available at present. Biological seem more promising as potential indicators degree than disease occurrence, an...
