Abstract
Abstract The patch method of testing for specific hypersensitiveness to tuberculin has been in use since 1908.1 With the introduction of the Vollmer patch test, in 1937,2 there has been new interest in this technic. In the last few years many comparative studies of the patch test and intradermal (Mantoux) technics have been made. Reports vary considerably as to the relative efficiency of the two methods in detecting reactors. Some observers3 have found almost complete correlation between the results obtained with the Vollmer patch test4 and the Mantoux test with purified protein derivative5 and with old tuberculin Koch.6 Others have reported some disparities in the results obtained, having found the Vollmer patch test or patch tests with undiluted old tuberculin antigen either slightly more or slightly less sensitive than the intradermal test with various dilutions of purified protein derivative and References 1.

The antigen used in this preparation is tuberculin produced from a synthetic medium (purified protein derivative). Thin filter paper is saturated with the undiluted tuberculin, cut into squares 1 by 1 cm. and placed on adhesive tape 2.5 by 7.5 cm. Each strip of tape contains two such tuberculin test squares placed to either side of a control square, the latter consisting of filter paper saturated with glycerin broth. 13. Seibert, F.

Old tuberculin Koch is prepared by growing tubercle bacilli in 5 per cent glycerin broth for six to eight weeks. After the culture is autoclaved and filtered, a clear, dark brown syrupy fluid is obtained containing glycerin, medium and products given off by the tubercle bacilli. 15.

An isomorphic phenomenon is one in which non-specific irritation (trauma, light, heat, toxin or a primary irritant) produces reactions having the same appearance as the clinical dermatoses.
