Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) remains a health problem and requires information on patient characteristics as a basis for strengthening services and disease control. This study aims to determine the characteristics of patients with positive acid-fast bacilli (AFB) pulmonary TB at the Makassar Community Lung Health Center in 2017 based on age, gender, nutritional status, occupation, disease status, AFB examination results, radiological images, and residence. This study is an observational study with a descriptive design using secondary data from patient medical records from January to December 2017. The population and sample were all patients with positive AFB pulmonary TB who met the selection criteria, using a total sampling technique. Data were collected using medical records and analyzed using descriptive statistics using Microsoft Excel, then presented in tables and graphs. Of the 65 patients, the age group of 46–55 years was the largest group (21.5%), men at 67.6%, malnutrition status at 50.7%, and unemployed at 50.7%. New cases reached 60%, AFB results were positive at least twice at 96.9%, and the most common radiological picture was active tuberculosis at 81.5%. Most patients came from Panakkukang District (20%). Conclusion: Patients with AFB positive pulmonary TB in this study were mainly characterized by a dominance of the 46–55 year age group, male, poor nutritional status, unemployed, new cases, AFB positive at least twice, and active tuberculosis
