Abstract
IN EXPLORING the need for changes in public health methods of preventing tuberculosis, the characteristics of new cases reported in 1 year in New Haven, Conn., were analyzed. New Haven is a city of more than 135,000 inhabitants with an average distribution, for U.S. cities, of middle class neighborhoods and poor sections. The incidence of new cases of tuberculosis in the city area is within the range of statistical expectations for urban Connecticut. New Haven's limited size makes followup of cases of public health concern quite manageable.
