SUMMARY The extensively widespread occurrence of the lesions caused by dead tubercle bacilli embedded in paraffin‐oil may be essential for the establishment of the state of hypersensitivity, even if such lesions may be an innocent tuberculoid change. And the fact that the lesions or metastatic foci are chiefly formed by invading the lymph channels, may probably play an important role in the mechanism of the occurrence of such innocent tuberculoid changes. Therefore, the tuberculo‐immunity premises the existence of tuberculous change; namely, it is exactly similar to that of typhoid fever.
