title: [Initial and minor symptoms of tuberculosis in children].
abstract: The authors studied the diagnosis of initial and minor tuberculous manifestations in risk-group children using conventional and compementary methods. The latter comprised aspirin and blood chemiluminescence (CL) tests. The aspirin test rejected the infection as a cause of fever in 11.2% of the examinees. The addition to leukocytes of M. tuberculosis (BCG and staphylococcus strains) induced an intensive CL response to BCG mycobacteria observed in minor tuberculosis, whereas infected subjects with associated diseases displayed enhanced CL in response to staphylococcus.
