Article Description

What is already known about this topic? Tuberculosis (TB) is a multisystem disease that might affect any organ. Currently, the National TB Program (NTP) issued by the state council in China, only covers pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB), and the status of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) remains unclear nationwide. What is added by this report? The survey conducted by China CDC reported that there were no specific health facilities responsible for diagnosis, treatment and management of EPTB in China, while more than half of counties thought it should be included into NTP. What are the implications for public health practice? China should include EPTB into NTP to achieve the target of End-TB strategy, a world free of TB. Zero deaths, disease and suffering due to TB.
