    (Turkish Assoc Tuberculosis & Thorax, 2007) Tanrikulu, Abdullah Cetin; Abakay, Abdurrahman; Abakay, Ozlem; Alp, Adil
    Last decade, there have been important improvements about tuberculosis (Tbc) in the world. Today, 32% of world populations are infected by Tbc basil's, every year about 9 million people have been catching Tbc. We have purposed to determine the incidence of Tbc and the factors affect it, using rate of bacteriology in diagnosis, rate of treatment completion and to constitute an idea for innovation. Diyarbakir, standard monthly data forms used for informing of Tbc in tuberculosis control dispensary are investigated retrospectively among 1996-2004. The mean incidence of yearly Tbc is 37.77/100.000 and pulmonary Tbc is 30.11/100.000. In this period have been determined 3724 new Tbc patient; 2969 (79.7%) are pulmonary Tbc and 755 (20.3%) extrapulmonary Tbc. 842 patient (22.6%) of pulmonary Tbc are smear positive. Tbc pleurisy is the most common type of extrapulmonary Tbc in our series. 3354 (90.1%) of whole patients and 2624 (88.4%) with pulmonary Tbc had completed treatment. There is no data about the rate of cure. This is the most common problem Tbc control system. In 2005, cure rates will have been determined by the way of new form. 162 (4.4%) patient had abandoned treatment. Incidence of Tbc is higher than the incidence of Turkey. It was considered that at the first place highly growing population, the crowded family pattern sharing the same house and bad socioeconomic factors have been playing a major role. Furthermore, it was found that the rate of bacteriological diagnosis was low. In order to increasing of this rates should be carried out necessary studies, should be tried to diagnose all patients with bacteriological methods. End of the treatment cure should be tried to demonstrate by way of examination of sputum. The treatment process should be pursued by directly observed treatment strategy.

    Tuberculosis screening results made at primary schools in Cizre
    (Turkish Assoc Tuberculosis & Thorax, 2006) Tanrikulu, Cetin; Abakay, Abdurrahman; Abakay, Ozlem; Alp, Adil
    Tuberculosis (Tbc) gained importance as a public health problem in the recent years. The course of the disease is more severe in childhood. Tbc screening was made by The Tuberculosis Control 11th Group Presidency on the primary school students in Cizre, in November 2005. A total of 2242 children have been taken to this study. Of the children, 1130 (50.4%) were boys and 1112 (49.6%) were girls. The mean age of the children was 6.9 +/- 0.8 (range, 4-14) years. Concerning Bacillus Calmette- Guerin (BCG) vaccine scar, 1676 (74.7%) children had no scar, 536 children (23.9%) had single scar, and 32 children (1.4%) had double scar. The mean diameter of the tuberculin skin test (TST) was 2.1 +/- 2.7 mm. Regarding sexuality and TST mean diameter, statistically significant relation was not detected between girls and boys (p= 0.3). The mean diameter of TST were 1.5 +/- 1.4 mm, 3.5 +/- 4.0 mm and 11.2 +/- 3.3 mm in the children with no BCG scar, in those with single BCG scar, and in those with double BCG scar, respectively. Of the TST results of all children, 2065 (92.1%) were negative, 101 (4.5%) were attributed to BCG, and 76 (3.4%) were positive, respectively. The rate of positiveness of TST was 1.2% in the children with no BCG scar, 8.9% in the children with single BCG scar, and 50% in the children with double BCG scar, respectively. A statistically significant correlation between the increase in the BCG scar number and the increase in the TST mean diameter was detected (p< 0.05). Of the children who were likely to have Tbc, 139 (6.2%) were advised to apply at the dispensary. Single BCG vaccination was inadequate in the children. We suggest encouraging the families about postpartal single BCG vaccination. Furthermore, school screenings should be paid greater attention.
