Tuberculin testing is the major method of diagnosing tuberculous infection. Although a significant degree of variability exists in reading reactions (1), the test continues to be the most reliable and available in diagnosis. It is used to diagnose tuberculous infection in contrast to tuberculous disease. Its reactivity separates the infected individual

In 1891, Robert Koch, following his identification of the human tubercle bacillus, observed a skin reaction in animals that he felt could culminate in the development of an agent to treat TB [1]. Koch observed that animals already infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis developed a self limited nodule at a skin inoculation site which differed from the

Use of the tuberculin skin test in children
Paediatric Respiratory Reviews, 2004The tuberculin skin test, originally developed by Koch over a century ago as a means to treat tuberculosis, has emerged as the definitive means to identify infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Its value was first demonstrated in studies of student nurses in Norway where it correctly identified uninfected students at greatest risk of dying of ...
