The present interest

Tuberculin Reactions. in the ophthalmic

and cutaneous reactions to tuberculin in the diagnosis of tuberculous conditions renders the following extract a timely one. It is a part of a general consideration of the recent journal literature upon the specific tests for tuberculosis, and is taken from the Edinburgh Medical Journal for June, 1908:

Prognostic Value of Tuberculin Reactions. The general impression is that the intensity of these reactions is to some extent inversely proportional to the severity of the disease. Detri regards the disappearance of response in a patient who has previously reacted as ominous. WolfEisner and Teichmann have paid special attention to this aspect of the question. They hold that the cutaneous reaction has a typical course, which depends on the gravity and progress of the disease. They divide the reaction into three groups: (i) Marked reaction, which sets in within four to six hours after inoculation, and reaches its height twenty to twenty-four hours later, and diminishes at the third or fourth day. This occurs in incipient. tubercle, and in the first and second stages of favorable cases. (ii) Mild reaction, beginning about six hours after inoculation, reaching its acme in ten hours, and

disappearing on the second day. This is characteristic of the third stage of tuberculosis, and of bad cases in the first and second stages. (iii) Late and continued reaction, beginning about six hours after inoculation, reaching its height very slowly, and persisting for a week. This is met with in patients who show no clinical signs of tuberculosis. Of the oculo-reaction, only the first and second types are met with.

Effect of Repeated Inoculations.-If in a suspicious case the test is negative or doubtful, it is the natural impulse to try it again, but to do so introduces a complication of rather a curious nature. This is bound up in the question of supersensitization, or anaphylaxis, a phenomenon which has been extensively studied in connection with "serum disease," and which for the present purpose we may define as an increased sensitiveness to the second and subsequent inoculations with a serum. Pirquet suggests the term "Allergie" to denote this increased sensitiveness, and "Allergie tests" have been employed in a number of cases. Ferrand and Lemaire are among those who report the recurrence of the ophthalmo-reaction on a curative dose of tuberculin being given weeks after the test has been applied. Klieneberger found
