Four Year War Of Tuberculosis By VA May Pay Off In Dividends For Nation's Health For the past four years, Ve terans Administration has con ducted the most extensive war on tuberculosis among veterans ever known in the history of the country. In announcing the results of the program today, VA said they are so significant that they are expected to pay health dividends to the entire nation. In the four year period that the program has been underway on a fully implemented basis, VA has screened 3,217,000 em ployees. Among these two big groups, VA discovered 12,740 cases of active pulmonary (lung) TB and 34,470 cases of inactive pulmonary TB. Of even more importance than the results to date, VA said, are the prospects for the future. The segment of the popula tion covered is so large, VA said that the results not only will re duce the incidence of TB in fection among veterans and their families, but also should reduce the niunber of TB cases and deaths among the general popu lation.

M> /W» iw»»irCM|p«.IH Officially known as the tuber culosis case-finding survey pro gram, the vast scope and impor tance of the endeavor are indica ted in the four-year analysis just completed. The figures show that an average of 67,000 persons was screened each month during the four-year period. Among this group, approximately 265 pre viously unknown cases of active pulmonary TB and 760 inactive cases have been turned up each month. This is an average of ap proximately 1,000 new cases found every month for the four- year period. In view of the infectioui na ture of active pulmonary TB, VA said it considers the number of new cases found and treated each month as an achievement in the nation-wide campaign to bring TB under further control. In fact, VA added, the mass survey has made it possible, for the first time, to keep VA instal lations virtually “clean” from TB infection of other*. Moreover, with the sources ol TB infection among veterans and VA employees constantly being discovered and removed, the population at large already is benefitting from the elimina tion of this hazard, VA laid. Times Two Still another benefit cited by VA as of incalculable value to the economic and physical heal th of the nation is ^ fact the search is turning up so many cases in the early, or minimal, stages of TB when proper treat ment has a greater chance of effecting a speedy and lasting cure. Among the 704,000 VA em ployees screened, approxiniate- ly 85 percent of the active TB cases discovered were in the early, or minimal, stages. While figures are not complete for the veterans screened, VA said it is reasonable to assume on the ba sis of the experience with em ployees that the percentage of minimal cases discovered among veterans is higb, too. One of the important by-pro- ducts of the program, VA said, is the large number of other chest diseases and abnormalities dis covered during the survey. A- mong these are serious condi tions, such as cancers and heart diseases, which require immedi ate attention. Thus early diag noses and treatment was afford ed through the survey when de lay might have b^n fatal. Nearly 01,000 other chest con ditions were discovered during the last year of survey. A mi nority of these were serious cases requiring immediate care. Most of them were cases which did not require immediate atten tion, but their early discovery permitted the persons to become aware of the conditions and thus enabled them to take proper- precautionary measures. In the field of research, many important avenuei have been opened for the use of the TB data developing from the pro gram. VA said the figures also are particularly helpful in ^ilanning the most economical use of fa cilities for hospital treatment, ,outpatient care, and rehabilita tion, VA’s program is conducted in all of its hospitals, in all of its outpatient clinics in regional offices, and among all employ ees. In hospitals a chest X-ray Is taken of each veteran oh admis sion to the hospital. If he re mains in the hospital over a long period of time, he is x-ray ed every 12 months or more fre quently if indicated while he is a patient. In the outpatient clinics at the time he is examined unless he has been X-rayed within the previous 6 months. Among employees, a chest X- ray is taken of every person at the time of employment or when he is separated or trans ferred. Every employee then Is X-rayed again at 6 to 12 month intervals, or more often if neces sary. A tuberculin test (Mantoux) also is given to medical person nel at the time of employment, with proper follow-up underta ken in indicated cases, including chest X-rays at more frequent intervals. This mass type of survey, VA said, already has proven its worth many times over and will continue to prove more valu able as time goes on and new sources of infection are discover ed and eliminated.
