Abstract
Tuberculin sensitivity of hypothyroid rabbits was markedly suppressed compared with that of the untreated tuberculous litter mates. This was due to nonspecific anti-inflammatory effect exerted by the hypothyroid state. Tuberculin reaction in triiodothyronine and thiouracil rabbits was less than in controls.Keywords
