title: [Sources of infection as indicators of tuberculosis endemy].
abstract: An analysis is made of cases of pulmonary tuberculosis that have been confirmed bacteriologically, as well as from the point of view of the incidence, of the prevalence and of the dynamics of the contaminating reservior. The generally favourable evolution of these indices is stressed evidencing the great danger of contamination of new cases before these patients are detected. The necessity is also stressed of a continuous improvement in the case-finding and diagnostic activity.
