Abstract
A statistical study was made over a period of 5 yrs. upon a large group of student nurses who were positive T.B. reactors and of the age group most susceptible to tuberculosis. Such persons who are tuberculin-positive need not fear tuberculosis because of the hazards of their work or by acquiring it of another. A program of prevention of T.B. among such persons should be centered around prevention of infection among tuberculin-non-reactors.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
