A tuberculosis notification system was initiated which used several sources--the doctor, the diagnostic services of bacteriology, histopathology and radiology, and the pharmacy. The results of six months' notifications have shown that the pharmacy was by far the most complete source (74% of all new cases); doctors notified only 21% of all new cases. The combination of both doctors and the pharmacy was the most complete pair, notifying 85% of all new cases. It is suggested that consideration should be given to the use of pharmacies as a source of notification both in other settings and for other diseases.
启动了一个结核病通报系统,该系统利用了多个来源——医生、细菌学、组织病理学和放射学诊断服务部门以及药房。六个月通报的结果表明,药房是迄今为止最完整的来源(占所有新病例的74%);医生仅通报了所有新病例的21%。医生和药房两者结合是最完整的组合,通报了所有新病例的85%。建议考虑在其他环境以及针对其他疾病时,将药房作为通报来源。
