Abstract


Abstract: Pulmonary tuberculosis (pulmonary TB) is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, an acid-fast bacillus (AFB). This disease is characterized by pulmonary infiltrates and caseous granuloma formation, fibrosis, as well as cavities. To date, this disease is still a global health problem. The highest incidence of pulmonary TB is usually in productive age between 15 and 44 years. This study was aimed to obtain the profile of pulmonary tuberculosis patients in productive age at RSUP Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado during years 2014 to 2015. This was a descriptive observational study using data of medical records. The result showed that there were 178 pulmonary TB patients in the age group of 15-44 years. Based on sex, there were 94 males (52.8%) and 84 females (47.2%). TB patients with positive acid-fast bacilli (AFB) in sputum were found in 117 patients (65.7%) and those with negative AFB in 61 patients (34.3%). In conclusion, pulmonary TB patients at productive age (15-44 years) were predominant in males with positive sputum of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
