[Leish-l] Induction of LST positivity by BCG vaccination

[Ali Khamesipour]

Dear All,
Dr Modabber you should well remember that in the trials in Iran we had a degree of LST conversion in individuals who were originally LST negative (no response to leishmanin; no induration and no erythema), the control group received BCG, and a percent of them converted to LST positive.
All the best Ali

Dear Colleagues,
I recall from Prof. Mayrinks studies, that BCG vaccination may convert leishmanin skin test in some volunteers who are LST-negative (MST-negative). The reactivity would gradually diminish after a few months.  Would appreciate any information on that and on Prof. Mayrink’s current email address.
Many  thanks,
Farrokh Modabber
