Abstract
Tuberculosis is a worldwide health problem affecting one third of world’s population and Pakistan is no exception. In this study, we used a structured and close-ended questionnaire to collect data about sociodemographic prevalence of tuberculosis, its risk factors, multiple drug resistance tuberculosis and clinical characterization of tuberculosis from Nishtar Hospital Multan, Pakistan. Tuberculosis is an infectious disease, affecting young people and females more commonly in Pakistan. Urbanization, illiteracy, poverty, family history of TB, associated immunosuppressive disorders, smoking and alcohol consumption are major factors of tuberculosis. Multiple drug resistance tuberculosis is also an emerging problem.
