[Is asymptomatic pulmonary tuberculosis ever detected by radiophotography?]

Following several organized detection campaigns it was demonstrated that these did not provide valid results even when these were organized as integral detections or for groups at risk. The authors maintain that the only group in which a satisfactory result can be obtained is represented by the subjects showing symptoms evoking pulmonary tuberculosis. These are known and can be sent to investigation by the district physician. It is recommended that the radiophotographic equipments should be assimilated to radiological apparatuses, but with better accesibility which the physicians should be able to apply without difficulty in the cases with major or minor symptoms suggesting specifical pulmonary disease.
