Tuberculin testing is used in the diagnosis of tuberculosis, in epidemiological surveys, and as an essential preliminary to BCG vaccination. It may also help to differentiate between tuberculosis and sarcoidosis which can be very similar clinically; in about 50% of patients with sarcoidosis the usual tuberculin tests are negative.

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
