Image processing is the most effective method for enhancement and segmentation of tuberculosis bacilli in sputum smear samples. Improper straining can result poor screening results such as over-staining, under-staining, blurred images. The goal to find an image technique that will prepare feature extraction. There are still some shortcomings with existing when it implemented on Ziehl Neelsen In...

Aim: The quality of tuberculosis diagnosis service is indispensable for early infection control and preventing unnecessary anti-tubercular therapy use. TB in Sudan mainly relies on detecting tubercule bacilli using the Ziehl-Neelsen (ZN) staining technique. Thus, current study aimed to compare ZN microscopy with GeneXpert diagnosing pulmonary (PTB) laboratories center Khartoum state, Sudan. Met...

Tuberculosis (TB) is an important public health issue in this world. In 1992, World Health Organization (WHO) has determined tuberculosis as Global Emergency. The caused of tuberculosis disease is Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This bacteria is bar shaped and has the quality of acid fast so that it’s also called as Acid Fast Bacilli (AFB). In this research, an algorithm to identifying and counting...
