Recently it has become difficult to identify the causes of death among pulmonary tuber culosis patients whether it is tuberculous or nontuberculous. Some Scandinavian research workers suggested the use of the excess mortality rate, which is obtained by reducing the mortality rate among the general population from the over-all mortality rate of tuberculosis patients. They insisted that the influence of tuberculosis on the causes of death among tuber culosis patients is best evaluated by this method.<BR>The author calculated the excess mortality rate among pulmonary tuberculosis patients found in 1953, 1958 and 1963 according to the extent of pulmonary lesions and sex. The whole mortality rate of the general population, the age distribution of which was adjusted to the group of tuberculosis patients divided by the extent of pulmonary lesions and sex, was calculated, and it was reduced from the over-all mortality rate of tuberculosis patients. The excess mortality rate was compared with the mortality rate from tuberculosis in each group, and very close correlation was found between them. (r=0.99)<BR>The mortality rate from tuberculosis among tuberculosis patients coincides well with the excess mortality at least in Japan, and the fact shows that the mortality rate from tuberculosis among tuberculosis patients can be used in the epidemiological analysis as the index to reflex the influence of tuberculosis on the causes of death among tuberculosis patients.
