Pediatrics, 1974
The tuberculin test is a major diagnostic tool. A positive reaction to the tuberculin test indicates the presence of tuberculous infection, but the degree of activity, if any, or the severity of the disease process cannot be thus determined. There are also other limitations of the test as noted later in this discussion.

Tuberculin surveys and the tuberculin test *
Tubercle, 1947Summary The incidence of sensitization to tuberculin in Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire is described, there being some evidence of a decline as compared with previous surveys in this country. This was particularly marked in the younger children, and among the adults in Cambridgeshire, where tuberculization was not found to be complete.

Although tuberculin test is widely used for detection of tuberculous infection among children, there is no clear understanding about its performance and interpretation. This article has been written with the purpose of elucidating the performance and interpretation of standard tuberculin test, based on the experiences gained at the National ...

nounced the discovery of a cure for tuberculosis. The cure consisted of giving patients subcutaneous doses of tuberculin, a brownish, transparent liquid obtained from culture filtrates of MWcobacterium tuberculosis. This treatment caused a febrile reaction within 4 or 5 hours.

Tuberculin Testing of the Aged
Diseases of the Chest, 1957SUMMARY About 57 per cent of our present old aged population are infected with tubercle bacilli. There has been an appreciable reduction in the reservoir of tuberculosis during the interval of ten years. More men than women react to the tuberculin test among the aged.

The tuberculin test in pregnancy
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1968Abstract Of 2,357 Negro females tested for tuberculosis during the prenatal period, 9.6 per cent of them had positive reactions (a figure substantially less than that quoted for the general population of the District of Columbia). Except for two known inactive cases of reinfection type tuberculosis, no new pulmonary lesions of this type were found on

Tuberculin Testing in Tuberculids
Archives of Dermatology, 1960The cutaneous manifestations of tuberculosis can be grouped into two categories: (1) those in which actively multiplying tubercle bacilli are present in the lesions, and (2) those, the tuberculids, in which tubercle bacilli or their products embolize to the skin from some active, but at times obscure focus of the disease.

Although morbidity and mortality from tuberculosis have shown substantial declines, this disease remains an important diagnostic challenge. Its early recognition usually results in a cure, with minimal disruption of the patient's work and family commitments.

Tubercle, 1957
Summary From the results of tuberculin surveys on large populations, evidence is presented: (i) confirming the reduced tuberculin sensitivity in older people. Further investigations suggested that the reduced area of the reaction is not due to age changes in the skin, but the reduced firmness might be.
