Sixty patients with positive acid fast bacilli sputum smears between were enrolled consecutively between March and August 2012 in the Saint-Louis (Senegal) health district to determine the Health System Delay in response to tuberculosis. The length of time between the first consultation of a TB patient and the start of treatment was, on average, 8.1 days and is among the shortest in the literature. This promptness reduces the risk of infection related to delayed care. This is one of the focuses of the National Programme of Fight against nosocomial infections in Senegal (PRONALIN), as well as the implementation of environmental procedures and the use of masks and respiratory protection equipment.
2012年3月至8月期间，在圣路易（塞内加尔）卫生区连续招募了60例痰涂片抗酸杆菌阳性患者，以确定应对结核病的卫生系统延误情况。结核病患者首次就诊与开始治疗之间的平均时间为8.1天，是文献中最短的之一。这种及时性降低了因延迟治疗而导致感染的风险。这是塞内加尔国家医院感染防控计划（PRONALIN）的重点之一，也是环境程序实施以及口罩和呼吸防护设备使用的重点之一。
