Abstract

We investigated the effects of several antibiotics and anti-inflammatory agents on the purified protein derivative (PPD) response in the rat. Animals were immunized with Mycobacterium bovis vaccine BCG. Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs were administered at therapeutic doses for 10 d. Chloramphenicol, erythromycin, aspirin and ibuprofen suppressed the PPD response, but penicillin and acetaminophen had no significant effects.
