title: [Comparison of various tuberculin tests].
abstract: In 188 children results of the Mendel-Mantoux (10 or 100 IU) tuberculin test given intracutaneously were compared with ointment and patch tests as well as with three multipuncture tests using dried or fluid old or purified tuberculin. The new and easily performed multipuncture test with liquid old-tuberculin was significantly superior at 89.4% positive reactions to the other tests (Mendel-Mantoux test as standard at 100%). There were no false-positive results.
