This article analyzed the uneven prevalence of tuberculosis in various areas and regions and its trend in China nowadays based on the data of the nationwide epidemiological sampling survey of tuberculosis in 1979 and 1990. The highest prevalence was 25-30 times higher than the lowest among provinces, municipalities and regions. The prevalence in remote areas and regions was significantly higher than that in coastal areas and municipalities. The ratios of the prevalence of pulmonary tuberculosis between cities and countryside were 1:2.4-2.8. Most of the investigation points which had a higher prevalence was located in remote and inland areas. Some minority areas which had higher prevalence resided in the northwest and southwest remote areas. The uneven tuberculosis prevalence in various areas and regions indicated that tuberculosis is still an important public health problem in China at present.
本文基于1979年和1990年全国结核病流行病学抽样调查数据，分析了当前中国各地区结核病患病率的不均衡情况及其趋势。省、直辖市和自治区中，患病率最高的比最低的高25至30倍。偏远地区的患病率明显高于沿海地区和直辖市。肺结核患病率的城乡之比为1:2.4至2.8。大多数患病率较高的调查点位于偏远和内陆地区。一些患病率较高的少数民族地区位于西北和西南偏远地区。各地区结核病患病率的不均衡表明，结核病目前仍是中国一个重要的公共卫生问题。
