Tuberculin Tests in State 4-H Club Health Contestants

M. W. HUSBAND M.D.1 and DAVID T. LOY M.D.1

1 Manhattan, Kansas

1. Tuberculin testing with chest x-rays of all positive reactors has been introduced to an important group of the Kansas farm population.

2. Superior general health and absence of physical defects apparently do not appreciably diminish the incidence of tuberculous infection.

3 The one-test method with the intermediate dilution of purified protein derivative apparently detects cases of tuberculous infection with a high degree of accuracy.

4. In 1936 and 1937, deductions have been made in the health scores of 4-H Club state health contestants who had positive tuberculin reactions. It may be found feasible to extend generally this policy of deduction for positive tuberculin reactors to health and insurance examinations.
