The authors studied the distribution of tuberculin allergy in a group of high TB risk, the students in last years of study of the Iaşi University of Medicine. They are already BCG vaccinated. An infection prevalence of 18.6% was found--reactions over 18 mm, also a reaction of 10-17 mm was found at 62.2% of the students having 2-3 BCG scars. In the time of the present national BCG vaccination program there is need for new criteria for separating the two types of allergy: post BCG and post infection.
