Report of Tuberculin Survey in the Rhondda Fach

CHILDREN during the first two years.This greater susceptibility to infection is found among premature children even when they are reared in an apparently favourable home environment.In general, premature children-after they have reached the age of 2-appear to be as healthy as those born at term.We wish to thank the chairman and members of the Joint Committee for their help and advice, especially Professor Aubrey Lewis, Professor I. G. Davies, and Professor R. M. Titmuss; the medical officers of health and the health visitors whose generous co-operation made this survey possible; and the mothers in all parts of the country who willingly answered numerous and detailed questions on their children's health.
