Objectives.
To measure delays from onset of symptoms to initiation of treatment in patients with smear-negative and smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis and to identify reasons for these delays.
Methods.
A total of 136 newly diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis patients were interviewed using a structured questionnaire.
Results.
The patients were divided into two groups.
Group 1 included 65 smear-negative patients.
There were 71 smear-positive patients in group 2.
The median application interval was 10 days in group 1 and 14 days in group 2.
While 24.6% of the patients had patient delay in group 1, patient delay was present in 33.8% of the patients in group 2 ( P > 0.05 ).
The median health care system interval was 41 days in group 1 and 16 days in group 2 ( P < 0.0001 ).
The most common reason for patient delay was neglect of symptoms by patient in both groups.
A low index of suspicion for tuberculosis by physicians was the most common reason for doctor delays.
Conclusions.
Delays are common problem in smear-negative and smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis patients.
Delays should be reduced to reach an effective tuberculosis control.
Education of public and physicians about tuberculosis is the most important effort to reduce delays.
