A chest mass survey for pulmonary tuberculosis was performed on all the patients at this leprosarium in the year of 1971, the following results being obtained.
1) The number of the patients having tuberculous X-ray findings, inculuding the calcification of the hilar nodes and/or lung fields was 64.38%.
2) Stable and non-cavitary tuberculosis (V-type, VI-type) was 62.51% and the male was more than the female.
3) The number of the patients with unstable lesions or cavitary tuberculosis (III-type, II-type) was 1.87%; the male was higher than the female in the percentage.
4) Therapy should, of course, be applied concentratedly to the unstable or cavitary tuberculosis.
5) Compared with the number of the tuberculous patients about ten years ago, the tuberculous patients at present have been markedly decreased; therefor the chest mass survey for pulmonary tuberculosis in this leprosarium is now on the high road of wellcontrolling of pulmonary tuberculosis, with success.
