The problem is the discussion of the test in the next section doesn't say which grades/results are "negative". Could someone make some tweaks? -- 87.82.9.62 22:02, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
I am confused also as it says grades 4 to 6 require follow up and x-ray.. but 4 - 6 is the desired and most common result isnt it? a positive reaction indicates there is no need for a BCG and this is what the majority of people have requiring no follow up. The negative results of 1 or 2 need a BCG and follow up don't they?
No-one I know needed x-rays and most of them had puss running down their arms! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.251.143.222 ( talk) 09:55, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
From the Bacille_Calmette-Guérin page, it sounds like negative is the desired result. Positive either means that you have TB (bad), you'll be allergic to the vaccine (bad), or you've already had the vaccine (unexpected). 76.21.93.198 ( talk) 23:11, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
