Abstract:

The diagnosis delay of pulmonary tuberculosis not only results in aggravation and treatment challenges for patients but also leads to the continuously group spreading of tuberculosis. Early detection in general medical facilities, the main primary diagnosis healthcare contact for pulmonary tuberculosis patients, plays a crucial role in achieving the goal of “End tuberculosis strategy”. The National Center of Medical Quality Control for Respiratory Diseases, Tuberculosis Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Tuberculosis Control Branch of Chinese Antituberculosis Association, and China-Japan Friendship Hospital jointly organized experts to formulate the Clinical practice guidelines for early detection of pulmonary tuberculosis in general medical facilities based on the results of China’s tuberculosis prevention practice and the relevant guidelines of the World Health Organization and supplement relevant research evidence at home and abroad. This guide systematically summarizes the characteristics of different diagnostic techniques for pulmonary tuberculosis and proposes tuberculosis screening strategies for different target populations seeking treatment in comprehensive medical institutions, providing evidence for improving and optimizing early detection of pulmonary tuberculosis in national and regional comprehensive medical institutions.
