title: [Note on the quality control of microscopists].
abstract: The decentralisation of the microscopic diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis is a valid policy for large countries with developing economies. But one must be assured that the work of the microscopists is reliable and uniform. To this end, a technique for the control of microscopists was tested; it consisted of a second reading of the examined smears in the peripheral centers.
