[Method for improving the diagnostic animal study in the detection of mycobacterial].
In 5,400 animal tests of different specimens for detection of mycobacteria the spleen of the guinea pigs was checked for mycobacteria by microscopy and culture also after macroscopic negative results. On this way the number of positive results of animal tests could be increased by 22.6%.
