The mechanism responsible for the absence or loss of tuberculin sensitivity in these patients is not known. The suggestion1 that the low incidence of tuberculin reactions in sarcoidosis is merely the result of residence in areas of low tuberculosis morbidity is not valid, for it has been shown that patients with sarcoidosis fail to develop tuberculin sensitivity following repeated injections of BCG vaccine.2The diminished sensitivity to tuberculin observed in patients with sarcoidosis has been attributed to...Bibliography1.
