EPICUTANEOUS SKIN TEST WITH TULARIN FROM VACCINE STRAIN TO DETERMINE IMMUNITY IN THOSE INOCULATED AGAINST TULAREMIA AND FOR DIAGNOSIS OF THIS INFECTION (Nakozhnyi Tulyarin iz Vaktsinnogo Shtamma dlya Opredeleniya Immuniteta u Privitykh Protiv Tulyaremii i Diagnostiki Etoi),
Abstract
Epicutaneous tularin from the vaccine strain is entirely suitable for detecting the allergic state in those inoculated against tularemia, at various intervals after the vaccination and revaccination, as well as in persons who have had tularemia in the past. Epicutaneous tularin produces a weaker reaction than the intracutaneous tularin, and fewer side effects, in persons who have been inoculated against, or who have had tularemia. In the mass population testing, epicutaneous tularin has justified itself as a completely specific test, technically much easier to perform than the intracutaneous test.
