A progressive decline in tuberculin sensitivity with advancing age is a common finding in large-scale tuberculin surveys [1 to 8]. Likewise Bcg vaccination in elderly people results in relatively few tuberculin conversions [8]. Already in 1929 Troisier described "l'anergie tuberculinique sénile" [9.
