Abstract
|
|
|
Although the incidence of tuberculosis in Korea in general has declined in recent years, it remains an importat health problem, especially in children. Inspite of the recent controversy over the necessity of tuberculin skin test prior to measles
vaccination, this brief report shows 13.8% of positive skin test at 9 and 15 months of age at the time of measles vaccination.
We feel, in Korea, practicing tuberculin skin test prior to measles vaccination is good way of detecting asymptomatic infection in young age who needs preventive therapy.
