ABSTRACT
A percutaneous, multiple-puncture method for the testing of tuberculin reactivity called Monotest (Mérieux) was compared with the conventional, intracutaneous, Mantoux test in 182 schoolchildren (14 years of age) and 338 adults. Correspondence of reactivity was observed in 84 and 85% respectively. These results indicate that the Monotest could be used to select schoolchildren for BCG-vaccination in Sweden.
