title: [Pulmonary tuberculosis discovered by methods other than radiophotography].
abstract: The retrospective analysis of the investigations carried out between 1969 and 1973 showed that for a total of 323 new cases of tuberculosis of the lungs recorded over this period of five years, 279 (86.37%) had been detected through radiophotography, while the remaining 13.63% were detected by other methods. Of these 67.74% were primary infection cases of tuberculosis and 32.53% were secondary tuberculosis. None of the newly discovered adults had been examined by radiophotography before (their absences were either motivated or not). Thus the cases discovered between the detections do not represent a failure of the radiophotographic method.
