[Evolution of endemic tuberculosis in the Iaşi District: between 1972 and 1980].

Continuing our longitudinal study on the evolution of the tuberculosis endemic in the Iaşi district, the epidemiometric indicators recorded between 1972 and 1980 were estimated. It was noticed that the epidemiological state of tuberculosis has improved considerably. The instantaneous prevalence of the bacillary patients decreased with 72% and the maximum one with 66.4%. The limitation of the contagion sources was reflected on the prevalence of tuberculosis in children, which decreased in the same period with 87.2%. The epidemiological process regressed slowly in the adult population, while in children it regressed rapidly and substantially.
