Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant health problem globally, both in developed and developing countries. Riskesdas 2013 states that the prevalence of TB based on the diagnosis is 0.4% of the population, with an average per 100,000 inhabitants. There were 400 people diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis by health workers. Following the criteria issued by the Ministry of Health and WHO, diagnosing TB is by sputum smear examination, not only chest X-ray examination. Aim: This study aimed to determine the accuracy of the diagnosis in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis at UKI General Hospital. Method: The study was conducted with a retrospective approach to source medical records. Population and Sample: The population is pulmonary tuberculosis patients hospitalized at UKI General Hospital from January to December 2015. Samples were taken from the total sampling with specific criteria. Result: Analysis of the accuracy of the diagnosis based on diagnostic criteria according to the Ministry of Health and WHO. Of 61 patients studied, the number of samples of men (65.6%) was more than the number of samples of women (34.4%). Most of them are 44-52 years old (21.3%). The results showed that 21.3% of patients met the diagnostic criteria of the Ministry of Health and WHO. Conclusion: Inaccuracy of diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis will affect the rate of transmission and treatment success.
