Hipersensibility reaction to the tuberculin test was studied using two types of simultaneous application in young male patients: usual syringe and needle and dermo-jet. The results revealed 61.3% positive reactions with the use of syringe and needle, vs. 40.0% using dermo-jet. These results show that the use of conventional syringe and needle in tuberculin skin tests is still the best current practice.
