included (327) patients registered in year (2004), the 3rd cohort included (321) patients registered in year
(2005). The collected data were analyzed for case detection, treatment outcomes, retreatment outcomes,
treatment success, and retreatment success in regard to time, age and sex.
Results: The following rates were extracted for the three cohort: Case detection rate within 1st, 2nd, and 3rd
cohort were (73.36%, 64.24%, and 71.49% respectively).Treatment outcomes (cured, completed treatment,
defaulters, treatment failure, died and transfer out) of new smear positive patients within the 1st, 2nd and 3rd

Recommendation :Increase case detection rate through increase health awareness to the community about
the mode of transmission and risk of TB disease, Increase the training of health team so that they can follow up
of patients at home, Increase follows up of defaulters to be able to deal with them and a study for relapses
