亟需系统开展矿工结核病防治工作

Systematic tuberculosis prevention and control strategy in miners should be urgently implemented

职业接尘人群和尘肺病患者是结核病的高危人群。我国采矿业从业人员众多,但目前尚未针对这一高风险人群系统地实施结核病防治措施。笔者回顾了矿工和尘肺病患者人群中的结核病疫情状况以及国内国际的现行防控策略,提出应建立结核病防治和职业病防治体系之间的合作,开展相关调查研究,全面落实矿工中的各项结核病防治措施。

Silica-exposed workers and pneumoconiosis patients are at high risk of developing tuberculosis(TB).There is a huge population in mining industry in China,however,no specific TB prevention and control measurements for them.Authors review both TB epidemic and the current domestic and international strategies of TB prevention and control in miners and pneumoconiosis patients,and suggest that cooperation between TB prevention and control system,and occupational disease prevention and control system should be established.The relevant investigations and researches should be carried out to implement all TB prevention and control measurements in miners.
