title: [Comparative evolution of the incidence of bronchopulmonary tuberculosis and bronchopulmonary cancer (data of the TB dispensary No. 1 in Galaţi)].
abstract: Over a period of 10 years a decrease was noted in the area of the Tuberculosis Dispensary of the Galatzi District, of the incidence through tuberculosis of the adult by approximately 50%, and an increase of the pulmonary cancer incidence three fold. The incidence curves of these two diseases, which were far apart 10 years ago, are much nearer now, and it may be presumed that in a not too remote future they will cross each other. The pneumophysiology network should be prepared further to face the increasing flow of patients with non-tuberculous diseases. With this view physicians should be re-cycled, and various types of specialists should be trained for cytologic diagnosis, and the technical equipment of antituberculous hospitals should be updated.
