Abstract:

Descriptive analysis of incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis among students in Tengchong City of Yunnan Province from 2014 to 2018 was conducted basing on data from Chinese Tuberculosis Information Management System. Characteristics of disease onset time, patients’ age, sex and method of detection were described qualitatively. A total of 53 student tuberculosis patients in Tengchong City were reported from 2014 to 2018. Annual reporting rates were 2.73/100000 (3/109781), 4.57/100000 (6/131259), 9.23/100000 (12/130051), 3.09/100000 (4/129616), 21.72/100000 (28/128936) respectively, which showed an overall upward trend (χ2= 38.093, P<0.05). The proportion of pulmonary tuberculosis in primary school, junior middle school and senior high school were 9.43% (5/53), 18.87% (10/53) and 71.70% (38/53) respectively. 75.47% (40/53) cases were detected by symptomatic visits to hospitals/clinics, 38.85% (19/53) cases were smear positive.
