Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
BCG Uptake
Change in concentration of interferon (IFN) gamma levels in blood after Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) incubation relative to baseline as measured by SFUs. Spot forming units (SFU) is a measure of immune response of mononuclear cells in response to M. avium lysate. Higher values indicate a stronger immune response.

- Prior BCG vaccination
- Previous vaccine in the past 4 weeks
- History of severe anaphylaxis to any vaccine or vaccine components
- History of organ/bone marrow transplantation or other immunosuppressing condition, including HIV
- Immunosuppressing drugs (including oral corticosteroids equivalent to \>10mg of prednisone for 5 days) in the 30 days prior to study enrollment
- Cirrhosis or portal hypertension
- Pregnant or breastfeeding
