Features: Due to the large population, convenient transportation, and significant population mobility in Jiangsu Province, the tuberculosis epidemic remains severe, and the prevention and control of structural diseases faces a challenging task. Especially, the foundations of tuberculosis prevention and control institutions and professional prevention teams are weak, and their working capacity is not strong. To complete the provincial tuberculosis prevention and control plan, it is necessary to mobilize various types of healthcare institutions and human resources at all levels. The roles of comprehensive hospitals and grassroots health care organizations in tuberculosis control must be fully utilized. For this purpose, this manual was compiled, aiming to help clinical physicians in comprehensive hospitals at all levels and medical staff in grassroots prevention and protection organizations master modern tuberculosis diagnosis and treatment skills. It provides training materials for the comprehensive training of healthcare professionals in infectious disease prevention and control, standardized training for resident physicians, continuing medical education, on-the-job training, and training for rural doctors. The compilation of this manual primarily focuses on practicality, standardization, and accessibility, and does not provide detailed descriptions of theoretical research content.
