自从19世纪末首次引入以来，结核菌素试验在配方、标准化和剂量以及解释和使用适应症方面都经历了不断的完善。新的指南用有针对性的检测取代了普遍的筛查，用贝叶斯方法制定的个性化标准取代了对阳性的严格定义。这篇综述总结了这项测试的发展，并提供了有助于衡量其预测价值的信息。
Since it was first introduced in the late 1800s, the tuberculin test has undergone continual refinement in its formulation, standardization, and dosage, as well as its interpretation and indications for use. New guidelines have replaced universal screening with targeted testing and rigid definitions of positivity with individualized criteria formulated from a Bayesian approach. This review summarizes the evolution of the test and provides information to help gauge its predictive value.
