An analysis of tuberculosis case-finding programme in Poland in 1966-1991 was performed. The main methods applied in practice were--case-finding according to "symptoms" and according to results of "chest x-ray examination". About 90% of new cases were detected by above mentioned methods. Case-finding according to "symptoms" was increasing parallel to age of patients and reached 74% in group over 60 years. On the other hand, the efficacy of chest x-ray examination was decreasing parallel to age of patients one was calculated as 19%. The case-finding method according to "symptoms" is suggested by authors as a basic and useful, especially in family doctor's practice. Chest x-ray examinations should be limited to high risk population.
对1966年至1991年波兰结核病病例发现项目进行了分析。实际应用的主要方法是——根据“症状”和“胸部X光检查结果”进行病例发现。约90%的新病例通过上述方法检测出来。根据“症状”进行病例发现的比例随着患者年龄的增长而上升，在60岁以上人群中达到74%。另一方面，胸部X光检查的效果随着患者年龄的增长而下降，其检出率为19%。作者建议将根据“症状”进行病例发现的方法作为基本且有用的方法，尤其适用于家庭医生的实践。胸部X光检查应限于高危人群。
