Abstract

A depression of tuberculin sensitivity was observed following administration of live measles vaccine plus gamma globulin. This depression was not related to pre-existing levels of antibody to measles. A depression of tuberculin sensitivity following administration of killed measles vaccine was less dramatic, although it did appear that in a number of instances a significant decline in sensitivity had occurred.
