Etiological factors in triggering non-specific allergic reactions to tuberculin in cattle

Are non-specific reactions to tuberculin common?

Three thousand four hundred eighty-five BCG scar negative school children were given tuberculin test. Results showed very little non-specific reactions, suggesting BCG should produce high levels of protection in our population.

Thermography of tuberculin reactions in cattle.

The allergic reactions of dermal induration and hyperthermia were compared in tuberculin-hypersensitive calves. Tuberculins prepared from Mycobacterium avium, M. bovis, and M. paratuberculosis were administered intradermally and the responses were compared. The indurations from immediate and delayed hypersensitivity reactions were readily distinguishable, but the hyperthermic responses appeared...

Serious allergic reactions following tuberculin skin tests.

Anergy to tuberculin in beef cattle.

Various aspects associated with anergy to tuberculin were investigated in a total of 75 tuberculous cattle. Forty-six (59%) had single lesions and 32 (41%) had multiple lesions. Forty-three (55.1%) had lesions in the lungs or associated lymph nodes and 23 (29.5%) showed multiple involvement of these tissues. Nine anergic cattle had generalised tuberculosis. Histological examination of lesions f...

Balance Recovery Reactions in Recurrent Non-specific Low Back Pain Patients

Objectives: Altered movement strategy and postural control has been observed in Low Back Pain (LBP) patients. Objective of this study was to determine postural response following support surface translation, also correlations between postural response related measures and disability caused by LBP. Methods: 20 healthy subjects and 20 patients with recurrent non specific LBP participated in th...
