Tuberculin PPD RT23: has it lost some of its potency?

S J Kim1, Y P Hong, G H Bai, E K Lee, W J Lew.   

Abstract

PPD RT23 is a tuberculin that is used worldwide. Korea has been using 1TU RT23 for its nationwide tuberculosis prevalence surveys at five-yearly intervals since 1965, and found a drop in its potency after the 1975 survey. This finding draws attention to the interpretation of tuberculin survey data observed with RT23 at different time periods.
