Abstract
DURING the period October, 1953, through February, 1954, the diagnosis of nonbacterial regional lymphadenitis was made in 18 patients at the Massachusetts General Hospital. An intradermal-test antigen was used in each of the cases, giving rise to theoretical questions concerning the sensitivity and diagnostic significance of the intradermal test. Since the literature does not contain any reports of an extensive study of tests with this antigen in normal people an investigation of its value was carried out. The present report summarizes the results obtained with a limited supply of antigen and indicates the need for further study of the problem. . . .Keywords
