Nonimmigrant, international students entering colleges in the United States are not required to undergo screening for tuberculosis (TB). Thirty-nine percent of active TB cases in the United States are in foreign-born individuals. In an effort to minimize the occurrence of active TB on a community campus with an increasing international student population, the college health service implemented a TB-screening policy for all newly enrolled international students. For the 1997/98 school year, 171 international students from 70 different countries enrolled in classes. Fifty-nine students (35%) screened for TB had a positive skin test (greater than 10 mm induration). Of those, 34 initiated isoniazid therapy, and 27 successfully completed the prescribed regimen under supervision of the campus health office.
进入美国大学的非移民国际学生无需接受结核病（TB）筛查。美国39%的活动性结核病病例发生在出生于国外的人身上。为了尽量减少在国际学生人数不断增加的社区校园中活动性结核病的发生，大学健康服务中心对所有新入学的国际学生实施了结核病筛查政策。在1997/98学年，来自70个不同国家的171名国际学生注册上课。接受结核病筛查的59名学生（35%）结核菌素皮肤试验呈阳性（硬结大于10毫米）。其中，34人开始接受异烟肼治疗，27人在校园健康办公室的监督下成功完成了规定疗程。
