Tuberculinum Bacillary Emulsion

The Bacillary emulsion (pulverized bacilli in glycerin and water).

Hallock (Hahn. Monthly, February, 1912) has found that "the bacillary emulsion" in dilutions produces the best results in patients who are without fever, and whose general condition is good. A temperature up to 99 or 100 degrees Fahrenheit (about 38 degrees Centigrade) is not a contra-indication ; but if the temperature is higher, we must expect no effect from the tuberculin until the acute symptoms have disappeared.
