Abstract

Objective: To compare clinical and paraclinical characteristics in AFB-positive and negative newly tuberculosis patients with at Military Hospital 103. Subjects and methods: A prospective, cross-sectional study on 42 AFB-positive and negative newly pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) patients, treated at Military Hospital 103 from December 2021 to Jun 2022. Results: The average age of AFB-positive pulmonary TB patients was 51.32  ± 20.13 years old, lower than that in the AFB-negative group, with the average one of 63.12 ± 15.51 (p<0.05). Lesions on chest X-ray image were mainly in the upper lobe, with the most common being infiltrative, bilateral ones in both groups. Cavitary lesion was seen more statistically in the AFB-positive group than in the AFB-negative one. 4.76% of patients had resistance to first-line anti-TB drugs. Conclusions: Pulmonary TB patients with AFB-positive were younger and had more subjective symptoms and infiltrative, cavitary lesions on chest X-ray image in comparison with TB ones with AFB-negative.
