SUMMARY Various aspects associated with anergy to tuberculin were investigated in a total of 78 tuberculous cattle. Forty‐six (59%) had single lesions and 32 (41%) had multiple lesions. Forty‐three (55.1%) had lesions in the lungs or associated lymph nodes and 23 (29.5%) showed multiple involvement of these tissues. Nine anergic cattle had generalised tuberculosis. Histological examination of lesions from 38 animals showed that the majority were of the progressive type.
