In January 1994, the Committee on Infectious Diseases of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) published detailed guidelines on tuberculin skin testing of children. These guidelines required mandatory screening of all children residing in high-prevalence communities. In February 1996, the AAP published updated and revised guidelines that allowed for targeted screening of such children based on epidemiologic risk of acquiring tuberculosis. We report on an assessment of the effectiveness of mandatory screening for tuberculosis in a high prevalence community.
1994年1月，美国儿科学会（AAP）传染病委员会发布了关于儿童结核菌素皮肤试验的详细指南。这些指南要求对居住在高流行社区的所有儿童进行强制性筛查。1996年2月，AAP发布了更新和修订后的指南，允许根据感染结核病的流行病学风险对此类儿童进行有针对性的筛查。我们报告了对一个高流行社区结核病强制性筛查效果的评估。
