The second nationwide random survey for the epidemiology of pulmonary tuberculosis was carried out in 1984/1985 in China. A total of 1,176,570 subjects were examined. Based on the tuberculin positive rate, the estimation of annual risk of infection was 0.60% in 1984, the annual decline rate of ARI was 6.3% as comparing between the data in 1979 and 1984. The prevalence of smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis was 156/100,000, and its annual reduction rate was 3.2% since 1979. The prevalence of active pulmonary tuberculosis was 550/100,000, and its decrease rate per year was 4.7% since 1979. It is estimated, there are 5,700,000 active pulmonary tuberculosis patients and over 1,620,000 of them being smear-positive cases in China.
1984年至1985年，中国开展了第二次全国肺结核流行病学随机调查。共检查了1176570名受试者。根据结核菌素阳性率，1984年的年感染风险估计为0.60%，与1979年的数据相比，ARI的年下降率为6.3%。涂片阳性肺结核的患病率为156/10万，自1979年以来其年降低率为3.2%。活动性肺结核的患病率为550/10万，自1979年以来其每年的下降率为4.7%。据估计，中国有570万活动性肺结核患者，其中超过162万为涂片阳性病例。
