Abstract:

Students are a high-risk group for tuberculosis, among whom senior high school students have the highest proportion of pulmonary tuberculosis patients. Carrying out tuberculosis screening and subsequent preventive treatment interventions among senior high school students is essential in reducing incidence and transmission of tuberculosis, thereby lowering the risk of school outbreaks. The authors reviewed relevant literature focused on pulmonary tuberculosis among middle school students published in 2010—2024,illustrating the current status and research progress of tuberculosis screening of senior high school students and intervention and treatment of patients with latent tuberculosis infection, aiming to provide reference and insight for tuberculosis screening and follow-up intervention treatment for senior high school students.
