Preliminary Estimation of Risk Factors That Associated With The Prevalence of Tuberculosis

Disseminated tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious bacterial infection that has spread from the lungs to other parts of the body through the blood or lymph system. TB remains one of the world’s leading infectious causes of death among adults. TB most commonly affects the lungs but also can involve almost any organ of the body [2]. Because of that, we conduct this study in order to better understand evaluate the latent form of TB infection and their relation to the other disease. We used Risk Estimation and MLR methods to gain the factors that contribute to the spread to the other disease. Dataset consists of 284 Miliary TB patients and they were collected directly from Medical Unit Records Department. These findings are concern for public health authorities, and reveal tuberculosis itself as a potential factor for other diseases. Key wordsMycobacterium; Tuberculosis; Risk Factors
