This study were conducted at the children's and maternity Hospital Sri Ratu Medan for 4 months. They comprised 61 males and 46 females with moderate to well nou­rished. Tuberculin test was seen at 72 hours after the injection. Tuberculin test was said positive if the induration was >5 mm was found. Positive tuberculin test were found on 58 children (54.2%), out of which 49 children (84.5%) were <1 year old and 9 children (15.5%) were 1 year old. Significant difference was found in positive tuber­culin test between child group of <1 year old compared to those of >1 year old (p <0.001). Diameter of induration was between 0-10 mm. Most of the children (51 = 47.7%) were having diameter of 5-9 mm. Median diameter of induration of tuberculin test was significant difference between child group of <1 year with those of >1-2 years, >2-3 years, >3-4 years and >4-5 years old respectively (p<0.01). BCG scar did not show significant relationship with tuberculin test result and age.
