Tuberculosis screening was carried out in two prisons in middle China. A sum of 3,459 prisoners accepted chest X-ray examination; 40 of them were diagnosed as active TB patients. The active TB prevalence (1,156\/105<\/jats:sup>) was significantly higher than that of the province and China\u2019s general population (P<\/jats:italic> < 0.01). As for gender, TB prevalence in men\u2019s prison (1,589\/105<\/jats:sup>) was higher than that in the women\u2019s prison (946\/105<\/jats:sup>). Nevertheless, the risk of having TB in women\u2019s prison was much higher than that in the men\u2019s prison when compared with the TB prevalence from the province (women: OR = 2.37, 95% CI: 1.34, 4.22; men: OR = 1.53, 95% CI: 0.90, 2.60) and the China\u2019s general population (women: OR = 3.30, 95% CI: 2.15, 5.09; men: OR = 2.06, 95% CI: 1.29, 3.30). In view of the severe epidemic situation of TB in prisons, integrating medical resources to establish a consummate and effective management system is necessary.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.18-0987","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,9]],"date-time":"2019-07-09T07:00:23Z","timestamp":1562655623000},"page":"510-512","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Epidemic
