Studies on Tuberculin Fever
In a search for the source of the circulating endogenous pyrogen (EP) that mediates tuberculin-induced fever, tuberculin was incubated in vitro with various tissues of rabbits sensitized by intravenous infection with BCG. Evidence was obtained that tuberculin specifically stimulates cells in the blood of sensitized rabbits to generate pyrogen in vitro, whereas both lymph node and spleen cells f...
متن کاملStability of Tuberculin Reaction.
P ERIODIC REPORTS HAVE EMPHASIZED the lack of stability of repeated tuberCulin skin tests in children. Kunofsky and Katz1 reported on two large groups in two schools for mental defectives. Reversion rates of 4 to 19 per cent were found. Marks et al.2 reported reversion rates between 12 and 26 per cent, depending on Criteria used, during a one-year period of observation of 1,100 tuberculin posit...
متن کاملThe Intradermal Tuberculin Reaction
The special interest of this paper centres around diseases of bones and joints and particularly the early diagnosis of tuberculosis of the hip joint. Tuberculosis of the hip presents a difficult problem; if the diagnosis is only made on definite text-book signs much valuable time may be wasted, yet if a provisional diagnosis is made early in the disease somenon-tuberculous conditions will be in...
متن کاملFurther Studies on the Ophthalmo-tuberculin Reaction in Cattle
Our conclusions differ in a few points from those of our first work on this subject. We are able to sum up our observations in this series of experiments as follows: 1. The ophthalmo-tuberculin test is of limited value in the diagnosis of tuberculosis in cattle. In some cases the reaction is very slight (hyperaemia). In others more pronounced congestion with profuse exudates are noted. Accuracy...
متن کاملErythema Component of the Tuberculin Reaction.
THE development of erythema is often a striking feature of the reaction to tuberculin. It occurs in the cutaneous test of Von Pirquet, and its development was the criterion of positivity in the conjunctival test of Wolff-Eisner and Calmette. It is usually well developed in the test which superseded both of these, the intracutaneous test of Mantoux. Over the years, however, particularly with the...
