Cutaneous testing in the elderly patient with tuberculosis.

J H Battershill.   

Abstract

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.
