Abstract

Abstract:

Screening of close contacts of tuberculosis (TB) patients is a routine work of actively finding patients in TB control tuberculosis control measures in China, but the effect is not satisfactory. In this article, we summarized the current status of incidence risk and screening among close contacts of TB patients at home and abroad, and described the results of recent research. Meanwhile, we found that the proportion of TB patients from close contacts in the rural TB epidemic in China is greatly underestimated. Therefore, strengthen the screening of close contacts plays an essential role in actively finding TB patients is an urgent problem to be solved.

Key words: Tuberculosis, Contact tracing, Population surveillance
