Resumo: The Bhattacharya method (decomposition of frequency distribution into Normal components by a graphic method) was applied to 35.680 results of tuberculin tests performed on the persons who demanded the Health Centre of Ribeirão Preto, between May-1973 and April 1974. It was possible to evidence, to characterize and to show three Normal components (corresponding to uninfected, probably infected with atypical strains of mycobacteria and infected with mycobacteria) in diferent age groups. There is a possibility of misclassification in the kind of reactor in the tuberculin test, since the anonymous strains of mycobacteria are presente in the geographic area.

Aplicou-se o método de Bhattacharya (método gráfico para decomposição de uma distribuição de freqüências) a 35.680 resultados de testes tuberculínicos obtidos na população que demandou o Centro de Saúde Polivalente de Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Brasil, durante 12 meses consecutivos, entre maio de 1973 e abril de 1974. Foi possível evidenciar, caracterizar e quantificar os diferentes componentes (não infectados, provavelmente infectados com germes atípicos e infectados com germes típicos) em diferentes grupos etários. Os achados sugerem a possibilidade de um menor poder discriminador do teste tuberculínico padronizado, nessa região, com prováveis erros de classificação se forem obedecidos os critérios em vigor.
