Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Immunization is an attempt to provide immunity to pre-schoolers by introducing vaccines into the body. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship of BCG immunization status and the incidence of TB in pre-schoolers. The research design used analytical observation with Cross-Sectional approach. Simple random sampling was taken as data collection technique, with population of 80 pre-schoolers and 67 were appointed as the respondents. The instruments were interviews and observations. The data were analyzed by Chi-squared test with significance level of p <0.05. The results of the study indicated that 43 immunized pre-schoolers, 28 of whom were not infected by lung TB, 9 were infected and 6 were suspects. The other group of 24 non-immunized pre-schoolers indicated that 14 were not infected, 1 was infected and 9 were suspects. Chi-square statistical test results showed that BCG immunization status had a relationship with the incidence of TB in pre-schoolers with p = 0.033 (p <0.05).The research has come to a conclusion that BCG immunization is very important for pre-schoolers to maintain their immunity. It is expected for parents to be aware of getting their children immunized.
