A study comparing the 48-h and 30-day reactions produced by three antigens was made in areas of low and high leprosy endemicity in Venezuela and in areas of Chile, a non-endemic country. The antigens used for the intradermal tests were standard Mitsuda antigen, supernatant from standard Mitsuda antigen, and PPD. The results indicate that there is no difference in the Mitsuda reaction of persons living in areas of high or low endemicity, but they show a statistically significant difference between the reactions in persons who live in endemic areas and those of persons living in a country where the disease has not been described. The difference in the Fernandez reaction obtained with the supernatant was not statistically significant between the two population groups in the endemic country, but was highly significant when comparing the endemic and the non-endemic countries.
在委内瑞拉麻风病高流行区和低流行区以及非流行国家智利的地区，开展了一项比较三种抗原产生的48小时和30天反应的研究。用于皮内试验的抗原是标准光田抗原、标准光田抗原的上清液和结核菌素纯蛋白衍生物（PPD）。结果表明，生活在高流行区或低流行区的人群在光田反应上没有差异，但他们显示，生活在流行区的人群与生活在未发现该疾病国家的人群的反应之间存在统计学上的显著差异。在流行国家的两个群体中，用该上清液获得的费尔南德斯反应差异在统计学上不显著，但在比较流行国家和非流行国家时差异非常显著。
