Ethics approval and consent to participate
: Tuberculosis is one of the Legal Infectious Diseases. It is mandated that each case of TB must be reported online within 24 h after diagnosis according to the Law of the People’s Republic of China on the Prevention and Treatment of Infectious Diseases. Local CDC collected the local TB case and CCDC pooled all the cases together. So the ethical approval is unnecessary in this study.It requires some administrative permissions to access the raw TB data. So we have applied the data and gained access to it from Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
