A hypothesis is presented that the fully developed cutaneous reaction to tuberculin, as exemplified by diagnostic cutaneous testing in culture-positive patients with tuberculosis, is an "all-or-nothing" phenomenon. In the elderly, this characteristic is maintained, with the value of the test being limited only by an increase in anergy.
有一种假说认为,结核菌素的完全成熟的皮肤反应,如在培养阳性的结核病患者中进行诊断性皮肤试验所显示的那样,是一种“全或无”现象。在老年人中,这一特征得以保持,试验的价值仅受无反应性增加的限制。
