To determine the effects of childhood bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) immunization and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection on dual skin test reactions to purified protein derivative (PPD) and Mycobacterium avium sensitin (MAS) in a developing country.
Descriptive cross-sectional study.
Dual skin testing was performed on 112 adults, 58 HIV-positive and 54 HIV-negative. Forty-seven (42%) of 112 had PPD reactions > or =10 mm and 52 (46%) had MAS reactions > or =10 mm. PPD reactions > or =10 mm were present in 30 (63%) of 48 BCG-positive subjects compared to 17 (27%) of 64 BCG-negative subjects (P<0.001). Nineteen (33%) of 58 PPD or MAS skin test positive subjects were PPD dominant, 15 (26%) were MAS dominant, and 24 (41%) were non-dominant. MAS dominant and non-dominant reactions were significantly reduced in HIV-positive subjects, and non-dominant reactions were increased in BCG-positive subjects.
Childhood BCG immunization is associated with PPD reactions > or =10 mm among adults. Reduced PPD reaction rates in HIV-positive adults appear to be due to a loss of BCG-induced PPD reactivity. Prior infection with M. avium complex is detectable in a significant proportion of adults in a developing country.

确定在一个发展中国家,儿童期卡介苗(BCG)免疫接种和人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)感染对纯化蛋白衍生物(PPD)和鸟分枝杆菌敏感素(MAS)双重皮肤试验反应的影响。
描述性横断面研究。
对112名成年人进行了双重皮肤试验,其中58名HIV阳性,54名HIV阴性。112名受试者中有47名(42%)PPD反应≥10 mm,52名(46%)MAS反应≥10 mm。48名卡介苗阳性受试者中有30名(63%)PPD反应≥10 mm,而64名卡介苗阴性受试者中有17名(27%)(P<0.001)。58名PPD或MAS皮肤试验阳性受试者中,19名(33%)以PPD为主,15名(26%)以MAS为主,24名(41%)为非优势型。HIV阳性受试者中MAS优势型和非优势型反应显著降低,卡介苗阳性受试者中非优势型反应增加。
儿童期卡介苗免疫接种与成年人PPD反应≥10 mm有关。HIV阳性成年人PPD反应率降低似乎是由于卡介苗诱导的PPD反应性丧失。在一个发展中国家,相当比例的成年人可检测到既往鸟分枝杆菌复合群感染。
