There were 333 positive reactions to MM and 427 positive reactions to MBT. Ninety-eight patients were positive to MM alone, 192 to MBT alone, and 235 reacted to both. Forty-five percent (192\/427) of MBT reactions would have been missed by only testing to MM, and 29% (98\/333) of MM reactions would have been missed by testing to MBT alone. Most of these \u201cmissed\u201d reactions, however, were doubtful (+\/\u2212) or mild (+) (MBT, 65%; MM, 78%), whereas most reactions in patients who reacted to both were moderate (++) and\/or strong (+++) (52.3%).
