Mantoux vs. Patch Test

EDWARD LEBOVITZ M.D., F.A.C.C.P.1

1 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

A small group of 100 patients, approximately 80 per cent from the Out-Patient Department, and the remaining 20 per cent from the student nurses, were tuberculin tested in order to compare the relative values of Vollmer Patch and Mantoux Tuberculin Tests.

1—Complete reliance on the Vollmer Patch Test, as a definite indication of tuberculous infection, should not be adherred to.

2—Relative merit of the Mantoux Test and the Vollmer Patch Test in manifest active tuberculosis has not been considered in this study.

3—The Vollmer Patch Test may be of value when there are objections to the use of the hypodermic needle. It lends itself for easy use at home or office.
