Abstract
Results: The mean age of children was 5.96±9.94 year. The prevalence of the disease in girls (63.5%) was significantly higher than boys (36.5%)(p=0.001). Contrary to expectation, the season did not play a significant role in the prevalence of the disease (p=0.102). The vast majority of subjects 424 (74.67%) were positive smear. Pathologic findings cited that 30 (5.1 %) of cases were positive. Most of cases 354 (59.8%) were referred to the Primary Health Care system to begin the treatment of tuberculosis. In final, there was a significant difference between gender (p=0.001), place of residence (p=0.001) and nationality (p=0.001) about disease. Conclusion: Place and ethnicity reported as remarkable risk factors of Tuberculosis. Therefore, social and economic determinants of health factors must seriously be diagnosed and improved.
