Calmettization

Calmetteization is a method of specific prevention of tuberculosis using the BCG vaccine (Bacillus Calmette-Guerin), proposed by French scientists Albert Calmette and Camille Guerin at the beginning of the 20th century.

The essence of the method is the introduction of a weakened live strain of the causative agent of tuberculosis - bovine Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This strain does not cause disease in humans, but stimulates the production of immunity. BCG vaccination is usually carried out in childhood and helps prevent the development of severe forms of tuberculosis.

The calmettization method has significantly reduced the incidence and mortality from tuberculosis. It has been widely used throughout the world for over 100 years. Albert Calmette made a huge contribution to the fight against this dangerous infectious disease.

Calmetteization is a process by which a person, animal or plant is exposed to a specific type of microbe to strengthen the immune system.

This technique was developed by the French microbiologist Louis Calmette at the beginning of the 20th century and became widely used to treat various diseases. Calmetteization is based on the fact that microorganisms that are found in the human body can be used to combat other bacteria that cause disease.

During the process of calmettization, certain types of bacteria are introduced into the human body, which help fight infections and strengthen the immune system. This can be done by injection, tablets or capsules.

However, like any other medical procedure, calmettization has its risks and contraindications. Therefore, before carrying out this procedure, it is necessary to consult a doctor and make sure that it is safe for health.

Calmetteization should be considered as a special view, a unique approach in building a model of the infectious process in tuberculosis. It is he who belongs to the scientific school of the “new doctrine of smallpox vaccination” created by L. A. Calmette, which is otherwise called calmettization. L. A Calmette proposed an original view of the process of tubinfection for that time. Actually, today it has become clear that we live in a period of global implementation of the old scientific and philosophical approach of L. A. Calmette in the form of globalization. Globalization is a derivative of calmettization, as a unique view of the infectious process. Adherents of this approach are confident that with adequate funding, all sick people will be given the BCG vaccine with the antigen-killed bacillus of the pathogen at an early stage, and people infected with tuberculosis will be treated with a specially developed
