The correct answer is  Schick test: intradermal test to demonstrate circulating diphtheria antitoxin. This antitoxin may be present either due to previous infection or immunization. This test demonstrates the immunity or susceptibility of a person against diphtheria. Positive Schick test signifies that the person is susceptible to diphtheria due to the absence or lack of adequate amount of circulating antitoxin.
