Organizatoric and efficiency aspects are presented of five integral detections (the fifth presently in the final stage), carried out over a period of 14 years (1960--1973) in the territory of the anti-tuberculous dispensary of Turda. In the course of the four radiophotographic detections that have already been finally processed approximately 400.000 subjects have been examined. Mobilization was, in most of the cases, higher than 95% and the proportion of suspects was of 2--3.5%. The complex investigation of the suspects was higher than 95%. The index of detection of tuberculosis decreased severalfold (0.63% in the first investigation, 0.07% in the 4-th) when integral detections were repeated.
