Abstract
Kerboua et al[SUP]1[/SUP] discussed about the immunity induced by nonspecific inflammation and BCG (Bacillus Calmette-Guerin) as factors altering the susceptibility to severe illness from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Ozdemir et al[SUP]2[/SUP] in their study have shown proportionately less number of cases, milder illness and a lower death rate in BCG vaccinated population as compared to BCG non-vaccinated across different countries and hemispheres.[SUP]2[/SUP] This article is protected by copyright.
