Abstract

Five hundred healthy school children in the age group 5-9 years underwent tuberculin testing. Seventy nine per cent of the study population had a BCG scar. 9.2% children were found to be suffering from malnutrition, using the Quetlet's Index and 7.8% were found to be malnourished by weight for age method. 18.6% of the children were tuberculin positive (induration > or = 10 mm) and the prevalence of tuberculin positivity increased with age. The numbers of tuberculin reactors or the mean tuberculin reaction were not affected by malnutrition. BCG scar status neither affected the mean tuberculin size nor the number of tuberculin reactors.

摘要

500名5至9岁的健康学童接受了结核菌素测试。研究人群中有79%的人有卡介苗接种疤痕。采用凯特勒指数，发现9.2%的儿童患有营养不良，按年龄体重法发现7.8%的儿童营养不良。18.6%的儿童结核菌素呈阳性（硬结≥10毫米），结核菌素阳性率随年龄增长而增加。营养不良不影响结核菌素反应者的数量或平均结核菌素反应。卡介苗接种疤痕状态既不影响平均结核菌素大小，也不影响结核菌素反应者的数量。
