1. Citizen cooperation is essential for success of tuberculosis survey in a rural type of community.

3. The follow-up with x-ray and sputa examinations can be very good.

4. Active tuberculosis is not prevalent in our county.

5. Travel time consumed one-half of the total time spent, and this fact increased the cost per examination.

7. It is possible to make the examination more personal in such a community.

8. Better education of the public is necessary.
