In the Measures for the Administration of Physical Examination in Primary and Secondary Schools, which is the tuberculosis examination item?

Freshmen in kindergartens, primary schools and non-boarding junior high schools mainly ask about the close contact history of tuberculosis and suspicious symptoms of tuberculosis. High school and boarding junior high school freshmen use suspicious symptoms screening of tuberculosis and tuberculin skin test as the main methods for early screening. In the screening, chest X-ray examination is further carried out for those who have suspicious symptoms of tuberculosis or strong positive tuberculin skin test.

For freshmen, they should ask about suspicious symptoms of tuberculosis and chest X-ray examination, and key areas and schools can carry out tuberculin skin test at the same time to strengthen tuberculosis screening. The school is a densely populated place, where students study and live together and are closely related to each other. Once there are tuberculosis patients in schools, the epidemic will easily spread and then escalate into a cluster epidemic.

In addition, students are in the stage of youth development, especially primary and secondary school students, whose immune function is not perfect, and the learning burden and pressure brought by the outside world are too great. If their immunity declines, they will be easily infected with tuberculosis and develop into tuberculosis. Tuberculosis screening is the most effective way to find suspected patients and tuberculosis patients in healthy people as soon as possible through simple and easy professional examination means.
