Abstract:

Strengthening key populations management is becoming more and more important for improving tuberculosis control nationwide. Authors summarized the key points and analyzed shortcomings of current tuberculosis control strategy in high risk population in this article. Considering the structure and characteristics of the key populations vary between region and region in terms of social development and TB epidemic, different strategies should be developed according to the local conditions. Authors suggest that precise tuberculosis control strategy should be implemented based on the risk classification of populations, places and times, and provide specific measurements.
