Tiivistelmä
Vastasyntyneiden yleiset BCG-rokotukset lopetettiin Suomessa elokuun lopussa 2006. Siitä alkaen rokotus on annettu vain lapsille, joilla on lisääntynyt vaara saada tuberkuloositartunta. Kuvaamme puolen vuoden ikäisen suomalaislapsen, jolla todettiin keuhkotuberkuloosi. Lapsi ei kuulunut riskiryhmään eikä siten saanut BCG-rokotusta vastasyntyneenä. Laajoissa selvityksissä ei löytynyt tartunnan lähdettä.
English summary: Infantile tuberculosis to be considered again
Administration of the BCG vaccine to all newborns was discontinued in Finland by the end of August 2006. Since then the vaccination has been given targetedly to children having an increased risk of contracting tuberculosis. We describe a child of six months and Finnish origin with diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis. The child did not belong to any risk group and thus did not receive BCG vaccination as a newborn. Extensive investigations failed to reveal the source of infection.
