Based on the hygiene hypothesis association between atopy and bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG), purified protein derivative skin test reaction, mycobacterial disease, and environmental mycobacteria are summarized. The role of mycobacterial species in the activation of the innate immune response through Toll-like receptors is mentioned. The implications and perspectives of BCG as a potential therapeutic adjuvant in atopic disease are discussed.
