Abstract
An experiment concerning the efficacy of vaccination with a photochromogenic Mycobacterium, as compared with BCG, shows that the former is less effective than the latter. The implications of this observation with regard to patients with unclassified mycobacterial infections are discussed. It is suggested that measures should be taken to isolate such patients from those with infection due to human tubercle bacilli.Keywords
