- Abstract: Abstract:School tuberculosis prevention and control has always been the focus of social attention. In recent years, school tuberculosis outbreaks occurred frequently, which had a strong impact on the society. Scientific and accurate interpretation of epidemiological evidence, especially on the etiology, is of great significance to the diagnosis and management of the clustering epidemic of tuberculosis in schools. This paper reviews current reporting and management systems of school tuberculosis outbreaks in China, and discusss the application of genotyping in homology analysis of school tuberculosis outbreaks, so as to provide scientific basis for accurate identification of school tuberculosis outbreaks.
