The fight against tuberculosis in Vietnam is based on bacteriological case-finding since 1956. First pilot-studies with this method showed among the population of towns a very high incidence of smear-positive cases of about 2.5%. The systematic fight was interrupted by the war from 1964 to 1975. Nevertheless from an analysis of the TB-situation made in 1976 resulted a percentage of 0.14-0.37 in comparable groups of population. The relatively high number of smear-positive cases has decreased in 1980 to 0.03%. The actual program of the fight against TB and the targets of its different periods are described.
