JAREC 2 Schoolchildren were tested on one arm with human sensitin RT 23 and simultaneously on the other arm with one of the sensitins prepared from atypical mycobacteria: non- chromogen, RS 10; photochromogen, RS 30; or scotochromogen, RS 64. Testing was made with low and with high doses of sensitins. Because of the extensive BCG vaccination programme in the country the number of persons not previously vaccinated with BCG in the study was very small. However, no indication of the prevalence of higher skin sensitiv- ity to atypical sensitins than to human sensitin wasfoun . Almost all the persons previously vaccinated with BCG who reacted to human sensitin showed a cross-reaction to the atypical sensitins. The cross-sensitivity was more pronounced in persons who were tested with scotochromogen sensitin and when they were tested with higher doses. This study represents one of a number of investi- gations of the prevalence of skin sensitivity to dif- ferent tuberculins (sensitins) amongst the population of the region of Bosnia, Yugoslavia. The results of previous investigations have been published else- where (Simeonov, 1964; Simeonov, 1967; Bleiker, 1969). Bosnia is a mountainous region with an average altitude of 500-1 000 m and has a population ofabout 4 million. The prevalence of bacillary pulmonary tuberculosis has been estimated, on the basis of a sample survey, as 2.7 per thousand, a higher figure than the average rate for the whole country of 2.4 per thousand (Teofanovic & Simeonov, 1967). The prevalence of tuberculosis infection is not easy to establish because of the extensive BCG vaccina- tion programme that started with the 1948-51 mass campaign assisted by the International Tuberculosis Campaign, in which about 2 million of the suscep- tible population of Yugoslavia (10% of the present population) were vaccinated (WHO Tuberculosis Research Office, 1952). Since the completion of the campaign a maintenance programme of BCG vac- * This study was partly supported by a grant from the Fund for Scientific Research of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Yugoslavia.

Information on the spread of atypical mycobac- terial infection in Yugoslavia is very limited. Todo- rovic (1963) found that more than 50% of 328 flocks of chickens had been infected with Mycobacterium avium and that the percentage of reactors in poultry was 7% in the plains of Yugoslavia. He found stronger skin sensitivity to avian tuberculin in a considerable proportion of cattle in the same area. In some parts of Bosnia a large number of infected and sick fowls were found and Myco. avium was isolated from them (H. Huremovic, personal com- munication, 1968). Two strains of mycobacterium that showed characteristics of Myco. avium were isolated in a hospital from patients living in a region geographically resembling Bosnia. The patients were suffering from a lung disease with all the charac- teristics of pulmonary tuberculosis (Kozamernik & Gasi, 1965). Whereas previous studies had tried to establish the prevalence of infection with Myco. avium, 2 addi- tional sensitins were used in this study. Thus all the 4 main groups of mycobacteria were represented (Wayne, Runyon & Kubica, 1969). A preliminary report on the same study has already been presented elsewhere (Simeonov et al., 1969). 2758 - 657- 658 L. A. SIMEONOV & Z. JAREC MATERIAL AND METHODS Sensitins and doses The following sensitins were used in this study: (1) Human sensitin RT 23 with 0.005% Tween 80, in two doses: 0.02 ,g/ml (1 TU) (low dose) and 0.2 ,ug/ml (10 TU) (high dose). (2) Avian (non-chromogen) sensitin RS 10 with 0.005% Tween 80, in two doses: 0.1 ,ug/ml (low dose) and 1.0 [kg/ml (high dose). (3) Photochromogen sensitin RS 30 with 0.005 % Tween 80, in two doses: 0.1 ,ug/ml (low dose) and 1.0 ,ug/ml (high dose). (4) Scotochromogen sensitin RS 64 with 0.005% Tween 80, in two doses: 0.1 ,ug/ml (low dose) and 1.0 jug/ml (high dose). All the low doses were considered equipotent, as were all the high doses (Magnusson, 1961). All the sensitins were supplied by the Statens Seruminstitut, Copenhagen, in solution ready for application. They were refrigerated until they were taken into the field and they were used before their expiry date. The properties of the sensitins have been described by Guld et al. (1957) and by Magnusson (1961). Techniques All the tests were given intradermally using Omega Pasaic syringes with leakproof rubber piston rings. For each sensitin and for each solution a separate set of syringes and a number of platinum needles were used. All the tests were done by the same skilled nurse who read the tests 72 hours after the injections. Pairs of sensitins were tested simultane- ously, one on each forearm; one of each pair was RT 23. Low doses were used at first and persons who showed indurations less than 12 mm wide to both sensitins were retested with the high doses of the same sensitins. Retests were given in another area of the forearm. The diameters of the indurations were measured and registered as the size of reaction. For calculations of the mean size of reaction in persons not vaccinated with BCG, only;" reactors" (with indurations > 5 mm) were taken into account, whereas all the reactions of BCG-vaccinated persons were included, regardless of reaction size.

Population Schoolchildren aged 7-14 years from two villages close to each other were tested. The number of children tested with the different sensitins is shown in Table 1. Altogether 1 735 children were tested Table 1.

Only 175 children had not been previously BCG-vac- cinated; all the others had typical scars on the left shoulder following previous BCG vaccination. The children were randomly allocated to different sensitins, by school classes. RESULTS Persons not vaccinated with BCG The reactions to low doses of human sensitin RT 23 showed a bimodal distribution with a clear dis- tinction between non-reactors and reactors (Fig. 1A). Persons tested with high doses and who had indura- tions of 0-11 mm did not show a clear delimitation between reactors and non-reactors. The reactions to each atypical sensitin and correlations between these reactions and those to RT 23 are not shown because of the small numbers of unvaccinated per- sons. The distribution of reactions to RS 10 and RS 30 is shown in Fig. 1B. SKIN SENSITIVITY TO DIFFERENT MYCOBACTERIAL SENSITINS Fig. 1.

At the beginning of the BCG vaccina- tion programme it was decided that all persons eligible for BCG vaccination or revaccination were to be tuberculin-tested. This has been done since 1960 with 3 TU of RT 23 with 0.0050% Tween 80. Those who show reactions of less than 5-6 mm are revac- error. In conclusion, it is clear that there is no evidence that infection with mycobacteria antigenically akin to the atypical mycobacteria belonging to groups of non-chromogens, photochromogens and scotochro- mogens is prevalent in Bosnia. Atypical sensitins elicited cross-reactions with the human sensitin RT 23 that were more pronounced in BCG-vaccinated per- sons, in persons tested with the scotochromogen sensitin RS 64, and in persons tested with high doses. 661 662 L.
