actually tuberculin test mediated by celluler immunity and it transfer bt CD4+T cell but not by serum...(type 4 hypersensitivity)infection with measels virus suppress cell mediated immunity results in loss of tuberculin accuracy...it can reactivates dominent organism and disease as well..
I think it helps
