title: Application of the leukocyte migration inhibition (LMI) test in clinical management of diseases of the respiratory system.
abstract: Results of the leukocyte migration inhibition (LMI) test using RT23 tuberculin were compared with the skin reaction of tuberculin (OT), intensity of bacillary excretion and erythrocyte sedimentation rate. LMI tests were made at the beginning and toward the end of the courses of antituberculosis treatment. In patients suffering from sarcoidosis (BBS), the LMI test was performed using Kveim's antigen and RT23 tuberculin.
