[Strengthening and standardizing the preventive treatment for tuberculosis in comprehensive medical facilities].

Preventive treatment of high-risk groups for tuberculosis is an important part of tuberculosis prevention and control strategies, and comprehensive medical facilities have an important role to play. This issue of the journal published the "Expert consensus on tuberculosis preventive treatment for individuals at high risk of developing active diseases from latent tuberculosis infection in comprehensive medical facilities". The consensus defined the target population for tuberculosis preventive treatment, recommended the timing of treatment initiation and optional treatment regimens for different groups, and put forward suggestions for the management of preventive treatment. It helped to guide the comprehensive medical facilities to provide more standardized tuberculosis preventive treatment. This article discussed the background and clinical significance of the consensus.
