title: [Prospective survey on the organization and supervision of the bacteriological diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis in a screening system in Algeria].
abstract: A prospective investigation was conducted in the western region of Algiers in 1974 in order to compare the effectiveness of the different methods of bacteriological diagnosis, the operational efficiency of its centralisation or decentralisation, and to evaluate the various methods of supervision. The results obtained favored the decentralisation of the microscopy centers at the peripheral level with permanent supervision by a regional or central laboratory.
