Abstract
Groups of BCG-vaccinated guinea pigs were given a single Mantoux skin test 4-69 wk after vaccination. The skin reactions tended to develop more slowly the longer the interval since BCG vaccination. Relatively quickly developing tuberculin skin reactions may be characteristic for repeated testing and for skin tests taken shortly after BCG vaccination.
