ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis among students in Yixing City from 2014 to 2018, and to provide a basis for prevention and control of pulmonary tuberculosis in students. Methods A descriptive epidemiology method was used to analyze the cases of pulmonary tuberculosis in students from 2014 to 2018 in Yixing City. Results There were 1,614 pulmonary tuberculosis cases in 2014~2018 in Yixing City, among which 135 were students with pulmonary tuberculosis, accounting for 8.36% of the total cases. The average annual incidence rate was 2.27/100,000. There were more males than females. The age distribution ranged from 16 to 18 years old. High school students were the main population, and the peak incidence was mainly concentrated in June and December. Conclusion The tuberculosis epidemic in Yixing City has generally shown a downward trend, but the number of cases of tuberculosis in students has been on the rise in recent years, mainly due to the outbreak. The cooperation between the health and education departments should be strengthened in the future. Early detection of the cases is of great significance.
