Popis: Complications after specific prevention of tuberculosis for the last 10 years have been analyzed using the example of a big city. The frequency of severe complications (BCG-ostitis) made 0.004% and the frequency of minor complications (lymphadenitis) made 0.005% and cold abscesses made 0.01% per 100 000 vaccinated children. Often complications were caused by mistakes in the vaccine administration related to premature discharge from maternity hospital and administration of the vaccine in the polyclinic and also concurrent prenatal disorder. The issue of complications caused by anti-tuberculosis vaccination makes no grounds to review the policy of the primary BCG vaccination.
