Skin Tests for Susceptibility to Measles

Abstract

Skin tests made with the toxin obtained from Tunnicliff's strain of green producing streptococcus on normal individuals, and on cases prior to and after an attack of measles did not give any definite positive evidence of the etiological relationship of this organism to measles. Further, an attack of measles did not produce any apparent increase in the antitoxic content of a patient's serum for this toxin.
