" 06/01/1987 - "The appearance of these lesions 48 hours after a tuberculin patch test, their tuberculoid structure, and the absence of any systemic involvement favored the diagnosis of papular tuberculids, a rarely reported complication of BCG vaccination." 03/01/1979 - "[Significance of tuberculin reactions in the diagnosis of skin tuberculosis]" Order ALL the reference details at left...
