Abstract: Objective To analyze the Results of tuberculosis surveillance in Wenzhou in 2004 and to evaluate the effects of tuberculosis prevention and control. Methods The annual report of tuberculosis surveillance in 2004 was collected and analyzed. Results The newly registered rate of smear-positive cases was 27.45/100 000 at surveillance sites, and was 26.84/100 000 in the temporary residents. It was lower than the target (34/100 000) of the tuberculosis control project and the average level of Wenzhou (33.60/100 000). The rate of smear-positive cases in the temporary residents was 68.3% , which was higher than that of total population (45.9% ). The cure rate was 86.6% . Conclusion To increase the finding of smear-positive cases is still the emphasis of the tuberculosis control project in our area. The tuberculosis control in the temporary residents is a problem which should be paid attention.
