Abstract
A total of 137 adult Panamanians were skin-tested with 2 standard tuberculins (PPD-S and PPD-T) and 3 antigens prepared from atypical mycobacteria: PPD-B (Battey), PPD-Y (M. kansasii), and PPD-X (M. xenopi). PPD-T elicited fewer doubtful reactions than PPD-S. Both PPD-B and PPD-X, when used as antigens in dual testing, greatly reduced the number of doubtful reactions.Entities:
