| leishmanin t. |
intradermal injection of leishmanin (leishmania promastigote antigens); a positive reaction consists of a palpable nodule developing in 48 to 72 hours and indicates delayed hypersensitivity, but not necessarily immunity, to leishmania organisms. The test is not species-specific. It becomes positive early in the course of cutaneous or mucocutaneous leishmaniasis, particularly the New World forms, except in diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis; it becomes positive only after recovery from visceral leishmaniasis. Called also Montenegro t.
