Delayed Reactions to Bouillon Medium of Tuberculin

M. R. LICHTENSTEIN M.D., F.C.C.P.1 and C. A. CILELLA M.D.2

1 Chief of Medical Service, Municipal Tuberculosis Sanitarium.
2 Staff Physician, Municipal Tuberculosis Sanitarium.

1) Certain preparations of bouillon medium, but not all, are capable of eliciting delayed reactions very similar to those of old tuberculin.

2) These reactions do not occur in persons completely insensitive to tuberculin. They occur in a considerable proportion of, but not all, tuberculin reactors.

3) Those tuberculin reactors who were negative to bouillon on the first two tests could not be sensitized by multiple injections.

4) Preparations of Long's medium did not produce delayed reactions.

5) The theoretical implications and possible practical applications of these findings are discussed.
