Introduction: Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The prevalence of pulmonary TB is increasing every year. The previous studies found that knowledge, physical condition of the house, gender and education level are the well-known of factors associated with the TB cases. This study aims to determine the factors associated with the incidence of Pulmonary TB at Puskesmas Maja, Lebak Regency, Banten Province, Indonesia.
Methods: Case control study design was used in this study. Total 20 cases and controls were recruited. Cases are individuals aged over 15 years with pulmonary tuberculosis who were confirmed by sputum examination with acid-fast staining (BTA+) showing the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
