Tuberculous Meningitis in BCG Vaccinated and Unvaccinated Children
JNNP 76:1550-1554,1470, Kumar,R.,et al, 2005
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Children with TBM who have been vaccinated with BCG appear to maintain better mentation and have a superior outcome. This may in part be explained by the better immune response to infection, as reflected in the higher CSF cell counts in this group in the present study.
