The percentage of tuberculin reactors, by age, is sometimes used in the epidemiology of tuberculosis as one measure of the tuberculosis problem in a population. Whereas such data are useful for determining the load of infection in communities, it is shown in this paper that only in very few instances do they lend themselves to a quantitative determination of the risk of infection. Such data are, therefore, of limited epidemiological value, and the author suggests other types of data which could give more useful information.The results of tuberculin-testing obtained in sixteen mass BCG campaigns, from 1948 to 1951, have been used to illustrate the problems under discussion.
按年龄划分的结核菌素反应者百分比，有时在结核病流行病学中用作衡量人群结核病问题的一项指标。尽管这类数据对于确定社区中的感染负荷很有用，但本文表明，只有在极少数情况下，它们才有助于对感染风险进行定量测定。因此，这类数据的流行病学价值有限，作者建议使用其他类型的数据，这些数据可能会提供更有用的信息。1948年至1951年期间在16次大规模卡介苗接种运动中获得的结核菌素检测结果，已被用于说明所讨论的问题。
