With such complex antigens the difficulties in interpreting reactions are obvious. Derrick and Fulton¹ have reported on cutaneous reactivity to various bacterial nucleoproteins in patients with a variety of diseases. Ando and Ozaki² have reported the results of cutaneous tests with nucleoprotein from Streptococcus scarlatinae in a group of 860 patients. The tests to be reported here were performed with purified hemolytic streptococcus nucleoprotein and were carried out on patients with an infection known to be caused by the hemolytic streptococcus, which causes scarlet fever.
