Tuberculin skin test (TST) was carried out in only 2 boarding middle and high schools in 2015 to 2020, showing an increasing trend year by year, and the difference was statistically significant (χ ²=34.55, 27.67, P<0.001). From 2015 to 2020, 38 002, 33 507, 42 376, 50 418, 58 235 and 66 006 freshmen were screened for TB with 17 patients were found, and the number of diagnosed TB patients was 0, 1, 3, 6, 2 and 5, respectively in each year.

Conclusions The overall situation of TB prevention and control in school was good in Jiangsu Province. The screening rate for TB among freshmen in 2020 was significantly higher than that in 2015. We should still strengthen the building of health professionals and implement prevention and control measures to control the transmission of TB in schools.

摘要： 目的 了解江苏省“十三五”期间学校结核病防治工作体系运行情况和学校结核病防控措施落实情况, 为更 好地开展学校结核病防控工作提供依据。 方法 采用分层加典型抽样的方法, 共抽取江苏省3个地市36所中学, 6所 大学, 采用统一的调査表进行学校结核病防治工作现况调査。 结果 所有学校均建立学校结核病防控责任制, 配置卫 生技术人员, 设有疫情报告人。2015年, 初中、高中和大学人学新生结核检査率分别为64.60%、54.15%和85.66%。到 2020年初中、高中和大学人学新生结核病检査率分别上升至100.00%、98.67%和100.00%, 呈逐年上升趋势, 差异有统 计学意义(χ ²=8 993.22, 594.33, 10 431.92, P<0.001)。寄宿制初中和高中2015年开展结核菌素皮肤试验(tuberculin skin test, TST)分别为0和2所, 到2020年TST检测率均为 100.00%(9/9)和100.00%(11/11), 呈逐年上升趋势, 差异有统 计学意义(χ ²=34.55, 27.67, P<0.001)。2015—2020年分别有 38 002, 33 507, 42 376、50 418、58 235 和 66 006 名人学新生 开展结核病检査, 共发现17例肺结核患者, 各年分别发现 0、1、、6、2 和 5 例。 结论 江苏省学校结核病防控各项工作 检査率逐年增加, 但仍应加强卫生专业人员队伍建设, 规范各项防控措施的落实, 预防和控制结核病在校园内传播。
