Abstrakt: A study of 5 patients diagnosed as having pulmonary tuberculosis during a period of 14 months is presented. 3 of them are members of the same family of 7 and the other 2 are closely related. This study calls our attention to the need for carrying out contacts evaluation, relative or not, and for chemoprophylaxis. The presentation of microepidemyes in relation to the decrease of the prevalence was also observed.
