Abstract
We sought to establish the Tuberculin skin status of a representative sample of subjects residing in Nursing Homes in the metropolitan San Juan area. In comparison with similar populations previously described in the medical literature, no difference was found in Tuberculin skin test reactivity in the studied sample.
