20世纪30年代卡介苗接种在中国的实践

The practice of BCG vaccination in 1930 s＇ China

1933年，王良从法国巴斯德研究所将卡介苗引入中国，自建实验室制造卡介苗，并为周围婴孩接种以预防肺结核，直至1937年11月因政府命令而停止工作。1938年，上海巴斯德研究所成立，设卡介苗实验室，在上海推行卡介苗接种，并延续到20世纪40年代。但20世纪30年代国内外医学界对卡介苗存在怀疑态度，影响了当时卡介苗接种在中国的推广，单靠个人或单个机构的努力，不能显著降低中国肺结核的发病率。

Wang Liang introduced Bacille-Calmatte-Guerin（BCG） to China in 1933 in order to prevent tuberculosis. He established a BCG laboratory and make BCG strains by himself in Chongqing, and vaccinated children around ,until he was forced to stop doing it by the government in November, 1937. In 1938 Shanghai Pasteur Institute was established, and they built a BCG laboratory to promote BCG vaccina- tion in Shanghai, and these actions were insisted during 1940s. But in 1930s the medical profession all over the world was skeptical to BCG efficacy, which impeded the promotion of BCG vaccination in China. Without the collaboration of the government and the national medical profession, tuberculosis problem in China couldn＇ t be improved by the effort of single doctor or an institute.
