Abstract

Introduction: TUBERCULOSIS is a chronic infectious and communicable disease, ranking seventh according to DALY, and predicted to remain so by 2020. The present study was conducted to evaluate the EPIDEMIOLOGY of TUBERCULOSIS.Materials and methods: In this descriptive-analytical study, records of all patients with TB during 2005-2014 were examined. Data were analyzed in SPSS 22 using descriptive statistics, Chi-square test and t-student at significance level P<0.05.Results: Out of 114 TB patients, 67.5% were male, 69.3% were infected with PULMONARY TB and 6.1% were infected with HIV. Furthermore, the patients were Afghan, 31.6% and 64% of the patients were city dwellers. The highest prevalence of TB (pulmonary and EXTRA-PULMONARY) was observed those younger than 40 years old (44.7%). There were no significant differences in types of TB (pulmonary and EXTRA-PULMONARY) based on sex, nationality, residing place, age groups and occupations (P>0.05). Meanwhile, a significant difference was observed in terms of exposure to TB cases (P=0.02). No significant differences were observed between patients with PULMONARY and EXTRA-PULMONARY TB in terms of mean age at diagnosis of TB (P=0.652), whereas significant differences were observed between the results of all TB cases and those using DOTS (P<0.001).Conclusion: Given the young age of people with TB, it appears necessary that the barriers to treatment and control programs be addressed, measures be taken to screen and train the high risk population in JAHROM in order to achieve the goals of preventing and controlling TB.
