Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Infectious Disease Control

Background:

  • Tuberculosis (TB) control in Beijing underwent a significant transformation starting in 1978.
  • A new program was implemented focusing on modern public health strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To reduce the prevalence of tuberculosis in Beijing.
  • To establish effective tuberculosis control measures, prioritizing infection sources and supervised treatment.
  • To expand TB services to rural populations.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a four-level TB control service network in urban and rural areas.
  • Integration of TB control into primary healthcare.
  • Introduction of fully supervised treatment (FST) for new smear-positive TB patients.

  • Use of standard and reserve treatment regimens, including a 6-month intermittent short-course regimen since 1988.
  • Intensified case-finding through symptomatic screening.

    • Main Results:

    • Coverage of FST reached 93% by 1990.
    • Significant reduction in smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis prevalence from 127 to 16 per 100,000 population between 1979 and 1990.
    • Achieved an average annual reduction rate of 17% in TB prevalence.
    • Successfully controlled sources of infection through FST and retreatment of chronic cases.

    Conclusions:

    • The new tuberculosis control program in Beijing has been highly successful.
    • The program demonstrated effective control of infection sources and significant reduction in TB prevalence.
    • Beijing's TB control model has been recognized as a national benchmark.
