The results of indirect hemagglutination with phosphatide and protein antigens in children with different manifestations of primary Tb infection point to a high diagnostic potential of the serological method. Specially designed and tested diagnostic preparations made of TB and BCG vaccine strain tuberculin can perfect the diagnosis of tuberculosis and determination of its activity. Employment of the erythrocytic diagnosticum with BCG tuberculin extends the potential of detecting postvaccinal complications in children immunized with BCG vaccine.
