Abstract

Abstract: Objective: The contemporary study conceded out on distribution of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in civil hospital new Darband and its rural areas such as Serri, Shanayia, Sookal, Baghwai and Nika paani. During directing research work the information and data was placid from several villages including new Darband. This demonstrates higher indication of tuberculosis in female as compared to males hence high-risk of disease in females is due to their neighboring contact, poor sanitation, and lack of health education, poor-hygiene and lack of awareness. Methods: During research work Cross sectional study was conducted in civil hospital new Darband during the months of calendar from May to October. All patients were cross-examined by using paper questionnaire comprised questions about the socio-economics, demographic such as Age, gender and area (where they were belonging), previous family tuberculosis history and others while they were examined clinically by qualified medical officer. Additionally ICT serological testation was used to conform the suspected agents which were done by the average
blood serum. They were studied further to conform their suspicions in sputum by applying Ziehl-Neelson staining method to investigate the AFB (Acid Fast Bacilli) in sputum smear which was carried-out in hospital laboratory. AFB (Acid Fast Bacilli) smears were introduced to microscopic examination for fluorochrome stain of specimen. Results: 15 were positive cases out of 374 cases. Greater Incidence of tuberculosis was testified in Sookal 5 (8.33%) while minimum frequency of tuberculosis was demonstrated in Tehsil New Darband 0 (0%). In Gender wise prevalence in which 15 positive cases of tuberculosis 4(2.42%) were male while 11(5.26%) were female. The risk of mycobacterium tuberculosis were established in population of intermediate age people such as 14-40 years (4.54%) although less risk of disease are originated in the children and risk in adult was (2.22%). In calendar of
month-wise prevalence the month of October (7.69%) was documented for higher cases Instead of July. In July rare or non-cases are reported mean (0%). Conclusion: For the incidence of TB poverty, poor cleanliness, absence of schooling, less viability of medications and additionally poor pharmaceutical indicating major elements. The TB control program will be effective, convenience to treatment centers and health education, well qualified and active persons are provided, and program must be for gigantic duration. Because well-trained microbiologist can be execute sputum Acid fast staining technique very accurately instead of non-concern partitions. Hence, such thoughtful research work assumes can play vital role for the control of TB in Pakistan, especially in New Darband and its ruler areas that are under review.
