Aim:The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency and characteristics of tuberculosis cases in our region and to illustrate its extent as a serious health problem for this city. Material and Methods:Patients with tuberculosis who were followed and treated in Dispensaries of our city were evaluated retrospectively between January 2008 and December 2015. Data were analysed using SPSS program. Results:Out of 915 patients, 637 (70%) were men. The mean age was 48 ± 18 . 800 patients (88%) were new cases but 62 had relapse, 5 retreated after treatment failure, 32 transferred in the dispansary, and 2 of them chronic tuberculosis. The sputum smear results were noted in 598 of 664 patients (90%). Sixty-five per cent of the patients were smear-positive. Fifty-seven (35%) out of 152 patients who had smear-negativity had performed culture test. Forty-eight of 57 patients (84%) were culture-positive. The diagnosis was made by histopathologic methods in 82 patients (37%) of 224 patients with extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Tuberculosis notifications were lowest in October and December but highest in June and July. Treatment outcomes were cured or completed (91%), defaulted (1.3%), failed (0.1%), died (4.1%), transferred out (3.4%).Conclusion: We found that tuberculosis notifications were seasonal, with peaks occurring annually during the summer. Culture should not be neglected in all suspected cases of tuberculosis.
