Diagnostic Value of Allergic Tests during Chronic Bacterial Dysentery
Abstract
Using the allergic Tsuverkalov allergy test, 105 patients afflicted with chronic dysentery and who were under constant care were examined. Of these 70 had a recurrent form and 35 had a continuous form of dysentery. In 24 (22. 9%) afflicted with chronic dysentery the diagnosis was confirmed bacteriologically; of these the allergy test was positive in 20 individuals. In 81 of the afflicted the diagnosis was established based on clinical symptoms, epidemiological amnesis and proctosigmoidoscopy; of these 52 patients (64.2%) had a positive allergic intracutaneous allergy test. However, on the whole, the intracutaneous Tsuverkalov test was positive with varied degree of intensity in 72 of the 105 patients, which is 68.6%.
