The Schick test ... consisted at first of the injection, under the skin, or 0.2 cubic centimeters of salt solution containing one-fortieth the minimum lethal dose of toxin derived from diphtheria organisms. (This was later modified to 0.2 cubic centimeters of salt solution containing one-fiftieth the minimum lethal dose of diphtheria toxin.) In a susceptible patient, a brownish stain appears at the site of the injection some forty-eight hours later; the stain remains for any period from a week to two months or so. Appearance of the stain is a sure indication that immunization is necessary (immune children show no reaction). 1, record 3, English, - Schick%20test
