title: [Cutaneous delayed hypersensitivity in a French reference population using the cell-mediated immunity multitest device].
abstract: The authors present a disposable device which may be used for skin tests studying delayed cellular hypersensitivity with 7 antigens and a glycerin control. With the aim of more objective evaluation of the results, they suggest the establishment of a score taking into account the number of positive reactions and the degree of the reactions. Finally, they describe the results of a large multicentre study involving 830 subjects considered to be healthy and divided into 4 groups according to the response to the tests.
