Under present epidemiological conditions of tuberculosis in our country tuberculin skin tests were done in 103 patients suffering from sarcoidosis. These results were compared with those of patients suffering from other lung diseases. The patients with sarcoidosis show more negative tests (66%) than the others. In inactive cases of sarcoidosis especially in cases with an acute course in the beginning conversion of tuberculin skin test may be seen. This effect may be used for evaluation of the activity of the disease.
