We reviewed data collected from 1993 to 2004 as part of the routine activities of the national tuberculosis (TB) control programme (NTP) in Morocco. More than 1 million household TB contacts were identified in approximately 200,000 investigations. On average, 77% of identified contacts were screened every year; overall prevalence was 2.5%. The proportion of TB cases identified in household contacts of registered cases was 5.6%. This was significantly higher in children under 10 years and in patients registered and diagnosed with symptomatic primary complex. Performing TB contact investigations as part of the routine activities of NTP services is feasible in low-middle-income countries.
我们回顾了1993年至2004年期间作为摩洛哥国家结核病控制规划（NTP）日常活动一部分收集的数据。在约20万次调查中，确定了100多万户结核病接触者。平均每年对77%的已确定接触者进行筛查；总体患病率为2.5%。在登记病例的家庭接触者中确定的结核病病例比例为5.6%。这一比例在10岁以下儿童以及登记并诊断为有症状原发性复合征的患者中显著更高。在中低收入国家，将结核病接触者调查作为NTP服务的日常活动一部分是可行的。
