Personal letters for the health education on TB were sent with short term interval to
the patients newly registered for 1 year between trot of September '76 and 31th of

The results were compared with those of the patio nuts registered between 1st of
September'75 to 31 th of August'76 to whom the letters were not sent (control group)
1. The numbers of study patients were 243. Among them 63.8% were male, 36.2%
female, and 37.4% were positive cases by initial sputum examination.
The numbers of control patient were 265. Among them 67.9% were male, 32.1%
female and 56.6% were positive cases by initial sputum examination.
2. 57.5% of study group live at convenient areas in traffic.
73.4% of control group live at similarly convenient areas in traffic.
3. Negative conversion rate of all positive cases of study group was 56% within 1st
1year of registration, which was higher than control group by 14%. However difference
of the rate was very little bet ween two groups who got sputum examination regularly.
