The paper reviews the social services offered to TB patients in Philadelphia, USA, in the hospitals, clinics, social agencies and the services of the rehabilitation facilities. From the review, it was evident that there was a lack of integrated medical and social planning in the city's TB control efforts, as observed in many practices of the agencies, either directly or indirectly involved in TB control work. A summary of these evidences is followed by recommendations confined to improving the medical social services and community social agencies.
