After Bela Schick (1877-1967), paediatrician in Vienna, Austria, and New York, USA.]Determination of susceptibility to diphtheria, by intradermal injection of a very weak dose of C. diphtheria toxin, a localized rash appearing after some 48 hours in subjects artificially or naturally immune.Skin test to determine immunity to diphtheria. A small amount of diphtheria toxin is injected intradermally; the development of redness and swelling at the injection site constitutes a positive reaction and indicates susceptibility to diphtheria. A negative reaction indicates immunity.A skin test to detect susceptibility or exposure to diphtheria.A test to determine whether a person is susceptible to diphtheria. A small quantity of diphtheria toxin is injected under the skin; a patch of reddening and swelling shows that the person has no immunity and, if at particular risk, should be immunized.A test formerly used to determine the degree of immunity to diphtheria, in which a dilute toxin was injected intradermally.
