At the onset of an epidemic in a closed institution about one-fourth of the inmates were skin-tested. During the year following the skin test, 5 cases of hepatitis with jaundice were recorded among 320 skin-tested individuals with unknown histories, one in the 144 skin test-positive, and 4 in the 176 skin test-negative subjects. In contrast 112 cases occurred among the 825 non-skin-tested individuals. Thus, the incidence of jaundice in the skin-tested group was 1.6 per cent as against 13.6 per cent in the non-skin-tested individuals. Possible explanations for this observation have been discussed.
在一个封闭机构中疫情爆发之初,约四分之一的 inmates 接受了皮肤测试。在皮肤测试后的一年里,在 320 名病史不明的接受皮肤测试者中记录到 5 例黄疸型肝炎病例,其中 1 例在 144 名皮肤测试呈阳性者中,4 例在 176 名皮肤测试呈阴性者中。相比之下,在 825 名未接受皮肤测试者中发生了 112 例。因此,接受皮肤测试组的黄疸发病率为 1.6%,而未接受皮肤测试者为 13.6%。已对这一观察结果的可能解释进行了讨论。
