Description
Schools are prime spots to catch TB early, since young people crowd and share air for long hours. Xiaolong Cao and co-authors screen near twenty thousand new students in a Beijing district in a 2023 study. They test for live TB and for the sleeping form, which can wake years on.
Eighteen live cases turned up, and more than two thousand sleeping cases. The share with the sleeping form rose with age, from ten to near fourteen per cent across the late teen years. Few of those with the sleeping form took the guard cure, and most who did came from one school type. In two years, three who had spurned the cure fell ill with live TB. The team backs a harder push for the cure.
