Dr. Laure Pittet: Can a vaccine against tuberculosis prevent eczema?

Laure Pittet is an MD-PhD from Switzerland. Laure has investigated whether BCG vaccine against tuberculosis can protect infants against eczema (atopic dermatitis). She shares the result of an Australian randomised trial and summarises the results of three trials that now all point to a role of BCG in infants of allergic parents – and we discuss what is needed to move to policy.
