RESUMO
Weak sensitivity to tuberculin was found not to be frequent in more than a hundred patients with leprosy who were tested at the Carville leprosarium. The sensitivity that was found was greater to human than to avian tuberculin. Leprosy is therefore probably not responsible for the weak tuberculin reactions observed in tropical countries.
