The Kveim test with a validated test-suspension was found to give an overall 71·9% positive result. A very high figure was obtained among patients with hilar or paratracheal gland involvement. Despite our enumeration of the difficulties and drawbacks inherent in Kveim testing, we find that this is a valuable test, providing one is aware of the pitfalls. Despite the finding of positive tests in conditions other than sarcoidosis, these are unlikely in practice to present a clinical problem in the differential diagnosis of suspected sarcoidosis. A microscopically positive test, therefore, remains clinically valuable. The test is also of very considerable importance in the clinical research into aetiology and pathogenesis of sarcoidosis.
使用经过验证的试验悬液进行的克维姆试验结果显示,总体阳性率为71.9%。在肺门或气管旁淋巴结受累的患者中得到了非常高的阳性率。尽管我们列举了克维姆试验固有的困难和缺点,但我们发现,如果了解其中的陷阱,这仍是一项有价值的试验。尽管在结节病以外的疾病中也发现了阳性试验结果,但在实际中这些不太可能在疑似结节病的鉴别诊断中造成临床问题。因此,显微镜下呈阳性的试验在临床上仍然具有价值。该试验在结节病病因和发病机制的临床研究中也非常重要。
