Abstract

Background: In order to ascertain the maximum validity of the screening test for invention of TB case, it is important to assess the screening value in order to observe the effectiveness of the screening method for invention undetection sufferer

Objective: Finding the best TB screening technique for the family of a medical patient at Bahtera Mas Hospital was the aim of this study

Design and Methodology: The purpose of this comparative descriptive study was to evaluate the efficacy of sputum and rontgen inspection (thoraks) for diagnostic maintenance of TB lungs. The population consisted of the relatives of all TB patients with lungs who had treatment or endured it, up to 28 respondents.

Results: Sensitivity and specificity values from sputum microscopy inspection were found to be between 0% and 100%. The rontgen photo thoraks inspection yielded sensitivity and specificity values of 22% and 68%, respectively. The results showed that rontgen photo thoraks examination was more successful than sputum microscopy inspection.

Conclusion and Implications: The skill and quality of health workers, particularly those in laboratories, must be continuously improved in order to detect TB cases and complete the tuberculosis disease treatment program with the best possible outcome.
