The objective of this study was to estimate the protective effect of Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine against tuberculosis among (predominantly immunodeficient) HIV-infected children in Angola. A hospital-based case-control study was conducted with 230 cases, children coinfected with tuberculosis, and 672 controls, HIV-infected children from the same hospital, aged 18 months to 13 years. The presence of a vaccination scar was taken as a proxy marker for BCG vaccination. The crude effectiveness was 8% (95% CI: −26 to 32) and the adjusted effectiveness was 30% (95% CI: −75 to 72). The present study suggests that BCG does not have a protective effect against tuberculosis among immunodeficient HIV-infected children. Since BCG is no longer given to HIV-infected children, the study may not be replicated. Accepting that these findings should be considered with caution, they are nonetheless likely to be the last estimate of BCG efficacy in a sufficiently powered study.

Bacillus Calmette Guerin (BCG) vaccine is still the only licensed vaccine against Tuberculosis (TB), with an estimated global coverage of 85%. However, although the vaccine has been established, discussions about its benefits and shortcomings continue.The coverage of immunization is appropriate with the target, but still the occurrence of child TB cases raises a problem of its own. This studywas a non-experimental study with study design was Case Control Study by retrospective. The effectiveness of BCG immunization in this study is 85%, meaning that children are given BCG 85% immunization will be protected from Tuberculocis (TB) disease. If the child does not get BCG immunization will increase the chances for the child, with OR = 6.87 (95% CI; 2.2 – 21.1) with p value = 0.000. It is suggested to Banyuasin regency Health Office to conduct the contact examination of house of children who are around TB positive patients periodically (monthly / at posyandu).
