Tuberculosis (TB) continues to be a health problem in both developed and developing countries, including Ethiopia.
Objective.
In this study, the prevalence of smear-positive tuberculosis among presumptive TB cases who visited the hospital was assessed.
Method.
Acid fast bacilli (AFB) test was performed on samples collected from 200 presumptive TB cases.
Data were analyzed using appropriate statistical tools.
Result.
Among 200 presumptive TB cases, 10% (20 individuals) (60% were male and 40% were female) were found to be positive for the AFB.
Of these AFB positive subjects, 11.2% and 6.3% were from urban and rural areas, respectively.
Among 20 AFB positive cases, 45% (9), 45% (9), and 10% (2) were HIV positive, HIV negative, and with HIV status unknown, respectively.
The highest AFB positive cases were found within age group between 25 and 44 years (70%) and followed by age above 40 years (30%).
It was found out that 75% (15), 15% (3), 5% (1), and 5% (1) were unemployed, government employed, student, and nongovernment employed, accordingly.
