Tuberculosis vaccine - a new remedy for allergies and asthma in children? M Can a vaccine against tuberculosis help combat asthma and eczema in Danish children early in life? This will now be examined in a comprehensive Danish research study. From September 2012, thousands of Danish pregnant women will receive an invitation to allow their newborns to take part in a sensational trial. The tuberculosis vaccine was removed from the vaccine program in Denmark during the 1980s, however new research indicates that the vaccine can improve the health of children. Research carried out in developing countries shows that the health of infants who have been given the tuberculosis vaccine (BCG/Calmette) at birth is improved and the babies have a better survival rate than those who have not been given the vaccine. The vaccine also seems to have a preventive effect against asthma and atopic dermatitis. Results are so striking that they cannot be explained by the fact that the children did not catch tuberculosis. Therefore, researchers assess the vaccine to have a general positive effect on the immune system, which means that children are less sick, and have less atopic dermatitis, asthma and allergies. Whether this positive effect also can benefit Danish children will now be examined in a large Danish research project headed by Lone Graff Stensballe, Paediatrician from the Department of Paediatrics and Adolescent Medicine at Rigshospitalet. The research project will run for three years, starting in September 2012, where 4,300 infants and their parents will be followed through interviews, examinations, and, for 300 of the children, blood tests as well. The project will comprise five PhD courses and a research collaboration with obstetricians, paediatricians, midwives, nurses and laboratory technicians from the three hospitals taking part in the project. “We are very excited about this unique opportunity to improve the health of Danish children early in life,” says Lone Graff Stensballe. “Unfortunately, we have seen large increases in admissions, consumption of medicines, asthma, eczema and allergies among Danish children. We hope to curb these increases with the new research project.” The research project will be carried out at Rigshospitalet in collaboration with Hvidovre Hospital, Kolding Sygehus Lillebælt and the new Centre for Vitamins and Vaccines at SSI (Statens Serum Institut).
