Response from Dr. Feinberg
 There is no immunization for PCP yet. BCG, which is used in some countries-- especially developing countries-- to prevent TB, is not used in the U.S. because it causes a positive TB skin test and it is more valuable to look for a positive skin test to detect TB in the U.S. where it is not very common. Also, it is an imperfect form of protection. |
