Objective　The study was conducted to explore the use of disease surveillance information report and management system and TB management information system, so as to do well in the tracing management of unplaced TB patients. Methods　Relative information was checked by the use of disease surveillance information report and management system and TB management information system. Based on monthly reports and seasonal reports and TB reports offered by non-TB control and prevention institutions, registration, transfer, tracing, placing situation and the reasons of unplaced patients and other related data were analyzed. Results　During these two years, 343 TB cases were reported by non-TB control and prevention institutions through disease surveillance information report and management system, 122 repeated reports were deleted, the number of real reports was 221, 152 cases were transferred, of which 58 transferred cases were placed; 163 TB cases needed tracing, of which 155 cases were traced (traced rate: 95.1%), and 81 traced cases were placed (placed rate: 52.3%). Conclusion The results of the analysis showed that the placed rate of TB case tracing was low. The publicizing of TB control and prevention should be strengthened; the confidence of patients to cure TB needs to be increased, so the patients can be encouraged to listen to the suggestion given by physicians to go to hospital in time.
