[Ten years of quality control in the microscopic detection of acid-fast bacilli].
The results of proficiency tests in screening for acid-fast bacteria are reported. Out of 52 participating laboratories, the results obtained by 47 of them could be evaluated. Thanks to this current check of quality and annual evaluation, erroneous results were detected, their cause could be determined and measures to secure reliability of the examinations were taken.
