We report a tuberculosis outbreak in school children caused by exposure to a sputum-smear positive school bus driver. Exposed children were assessed using 2 versions of interferon-gamma release assays. Fifty-five percent (18/34) had a positive interferon-gamma release assays and 4 children developed tuberculosis. This suggests that transmission may be very efficient in this setting and highlights the need for early diagnosis.
我们报告了一起因接触一名痰涂片阳性的校车司机而导致学童结核病爆发的事件。对暴露的儿童使用两种版本的干扰素-γ释放试验进行了评估。55%（18/34）的儿童干扰素-γ释放试验呈阳性，4名儿童患上了结核病。这表明在这种情况下传播可能非常高效，并凸显了早期诊断的必要性。
