Tuberculin testing of 176 personnel in a Liverpool hospital showed a total incidence of 68% negative reactors. This remarkably high percentage was similar for each of the various groups of workers tested. We did not find the Tine test to be a satisfactory method of screening for tuberculin sensitivity because 30% were doubtful reactors. In these, further tuberculin testing by the Mantoux reagent was always positive.
对利物浦一家医院的176名工作人员进行结核菌素检测,结果显示结核菌素反应阴性者的总发生率为68%。这一极高的比例在接受检测的各类工作人员群体中都相似。我们发现单针试验并非筛查结核菌素敏感性的令人满意的方法,因为有30%的反应结果存疑。在这些人中,用曼托克斯试剂进一步进行结核菌素检测时结果总是呈阳性。
