In other hand, the research by Hadad (2014) mention TB patients characteristics :
- Case-patients ranged in age from 18 to 62 years
- Case-patients had long infectious periods (median 10 months, range 3−36 months); after seeking medical attention for TB symptoms, these patients often experienced delays in TB diagnosis and thus delays in treatment initiation
- All patients had pulmonary TB that was smear positive for acid-fast bacilli
- Most patients reported excess alcohol or illicit drug use; half had been incarcerated at some point in the past, and nearly half had been homeless in the year before diagnosis.
- Most cases came to public health attention because the patient sought care for TB symptoms rather than through contact investigations.
- During the study period, 2016 cases (male: 71.1%) of culture-proven TB were identified.
- The mean age was 59.3 (range: 0.3–96) years.
- the mean age at death was 74 years; 17.3% (43 cases) of all TB deaths were TB-related.
- Most of the TB-related deaths occurred early (median survival: 20 days),
- The patient died of septic shock. Malignancy, liver cirrhosis, renal failure, and miliary and pneumonic radiographic patterns were all independent predictors for all TB deaths.
- Cavitary, miliary and pneumonic radiographic patterns were all significant predictive factors for TB-related death.
- Extrapulmonary involvement and liver cirrhosis were also factors contributing to TB-related death.
- Men majority
- Economically productive
- Patients were from urban area
- Age group ranged between 15-34 years.
- Patients were illiterate and 32.2% were unemployed
- The highest number of smokers and alcoholics
- Productive age (adult)
- Smokking, Alchololic, Drug use
- Homeles, incarcerated
- illiterate
- Urban area
- coinfection with HIV
