More Information
Summary:The invention relates to inactivated mycobacteria for oral use in the prevention of tuberculosis, which are administered using a multi-dose regimen and with a reduced time interval between doses, such as to induce a tolerance response to infection by the tubercle bacillus. The inactivated bacteria can be used with the aforementioned regimen to control the progression of the infection from a latent state to active tuberculosis. Las micobacterias inactivadas para su uso por vía oral en la prevención de la tuberculosis se administran según una pauta de administración de múltiples dosis, administradas con un intervalo temporal reducido entre las mismas, de modo que induce una respuesta tolerizante frente a la infección por el bacilo de la tuberculosis. La utilización de las bacterias inactivadas de acuerdo con dicha pauta permite controlar el progreso de la infección desde un estado latente a tuberculosis activa.
