Objective To investigate the epidemic characteristics of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) in Minhang District of Shanghai, and to provide a scientific basis for TB prevention and control. Methods Data from active TB patients registered in Minhang District of Shanghai from 2009 to 2019 was collected and analyzed using descriptive epidemiological method. Results From 2009 to 2019 the registration rates of TB patients in Minhang district of Shanghai showed a downward trend, with an average annual registration rate of 32.35/100 000, including 3 611 (41.08%) patients who were registered permanent residents of Shanghai and 5 179 (58.92%) patients who were non-permanent residents. The ratio of men to women was 2.04:1. Workers accounted for more cases (22.77%) than other occupations among patients without registered permanent residence, while retirees accounted for the majority of cases (38.60%) among patients with registered permanent residence. Among the TB patients without registered residence, the highest proportion (45.86%) was in the 20-29 years old group, while the highest proportion in permanent residents was in the 50-59 years old group (19.47%). The peak incidence occurred in May in patients without registered permanent residence, while the peak incidence was in June in patients with registered permanent residence.
