Retrospective Study of the Pattern of Pulmonary and Extrapulmonary Tuberculosis Cases in Ain Shams University Hospitals during the Period of 2016– 2022
in the productive age group (31–60 years). The positivity rate of TB cases showed a rising pattern from 2016 to 2018, where the highest rate (2.26%) was observed followed by an upwards and downwards pattern to reach its lowest rate (0.84%) in 2021. Afterwards, a sharp rise was noticed in 2022. Conclusion: TB is more prevailing among males, especially pulmonary tuberculosis. We noted an increasing trend among females. Thus, TB control approach should provide more care for those patients and propagate awareness to avoid unhealthy practices. We recommend encouraging hygienic practices as those used for COVID-19. This would help us minimize the number of TB patients, thus decreasing the financial burden.
