Through field epidemiological investigation and follow-up laboratory test results, it was finally confirmed that the three student cases were a case of primary rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis aggregation epidemic. It is suggested that: taking various ways to strengthen the health education of tuberculosis prevention and control knowledge in schools, comprehensively promoting and strengthening the tuberculosis health screening of junior high school and senior high school freshmen, and early diagnosis and treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis under the existing diagnostic technology and detection ability are important measures to improve the accurate prevention and control ability of drug-resistant tuberculosis in schools; At the same time, strengthening the network platform epidemic monitorning and the establishment of tuberculosis drug-resistant strains gene bank platform are the most powerful basis for drug-resistant tuberculosis traceability analysis.
