Mantoux (10 tuberculin units) and tine tuberculin tests were performed in 190 subjects and the results recorded at 48, 72, and 96 hours. Altogether 1010 readings were recorded. Of these, 555 (55%) were Mantoux-test positive and 525 (52%) tine-test positive. While the tine test is marginally less sensitive, its advantages are simplicity and ease and speed of application. It thus provides a useful screening test for eliciting tuberculin sensitivity.
对190名受试者进行了曼托试验(10个结核菌素单位)和划痕结核菌素试验,并在48、72和96小时记录结果。总共记录了1010次读数。其中,555次(55%)曼托试验呈阳性,525次(52%)划痕试验呈阳性。虽然划痕试验的敏感性略低,但其优点是操作简单、容易且速度快。因此,它为检测结核菌素敏感性提供了一种有用的筛查试验。
