Abstract

Students represent a critical demographic in the prevention and control of tuberculosis, with return-to-school policies after the contraction of active tuberculosis playing an essential role in safeguarding the health and developmental trajectories of adolescents. Notably, policy variations exist internationally, and China experiences relatively prolonged absences from school, potentially affecting students' academic performance, social interactions, and psychological well-being. Recent advancements in diagnosing and treating tuberculosis in children and adolescents now facilitate more practical adjustments to these policies for cases responsive to treatment. This paper reviews global return-to-school policies, presents a case study from Zhuhai City highlighting decreased infectivity following regulated treatment, and proposes new policy recommendations. These aim to permit earlier school re-entry for affected children and adolescents, thereby laying a groundwork for policy optimization in China.
