RESUMO
The study of the pattern of pulmonary tuberculous TB during the five years 2005-2010 in Damanhour Chest Hospital [DCH] revealed the following: out of 96862 attendants examined by mass minuture radiography [MMR] there were 985 [2.6%] cases were suspected to have pulmonary TB [88.1%] out of 985 were having bronchogenic TB and 117 [11.8%] were having extra pulmonary TB. All of them having pleural effusion only two patients having TB of lumbar spine [Potts disease]. Sputum analysis revealed 698 [0.72%] out of 96862 were positive sputum for acid fast bacilli [AFB] and 287 [0.2%] out of 96862 were sputum negative for [AFB]. Bronchogenic pulmonary TB cases were classified radiologically as unilateral lesion in 975 patients 98.9% and only lo patients 1.1% as bilateral pulmonary TB. The commonest age incidence for pulmonary TB was in the age group 16-30 years 473 [46.7%] out of 985. The study of the epidemiological pattern for TB inpatients presented in the hospital during the study revealed that TB was more prevalent among males age group 16-30 years, lower level of education farmers, sailer and labourers most of them were smoking especially Goza. The comparative study between these five years find that there was a decrease in the total number of tuberculous patients 7.3%, 4%. 3.1% 0.7% 0.5%. 0.5% respectively .Also this study showed that males 675 [69%] were more prone to TB infection than the females

The study of the pattern of pulmonary Tuberculosis [T.B] during the three years 2005-2007 in Damanhour Chest Hospital [D.C.H] revealed the following: Out of 10332 attendants examined by mass miniature radiography [M.M.R] there were 471 [4.5%] cases were suspected to have pulmonary T.B .436 patients [4.7%] out of 471 were having bronchogenic T.B and only 35 [0.3%] were having pleural effusion. Sputum analysis revealed 291 [66.5%] were positive sputum for acid fast bacilli [A.F.B] and 145 [33.5%] were sputum negative for [A.F.B]. Bronchogenic pulmonary T.B cases were classified radiologically as unilateral lesion in 430 patients [98.64%], and only 6 patients [1.3%] as bilateral pulmonary T.B. All the extra pulmonary T.B cases were pleural effusion. The commonest age incidence for the pulmonary T.B was in the age group 16-30 years [200 patients 42.4%] from total number 471 suspected cases. The study of the epidemiological pattern for T.B inpatients presented in the hospital during the study revealed that T.B was more prevalent among males age group [16-30] years, lower level of education, farmers sailers and labourers most of them were smoker especially Goza. The comparative study between these three years 2005-2007 there was a decrease in total number of tuberculous patients 7.3%, 4% and 3.1% respectively .Also this study showed that males 312 [71.5%] were more prone to T.B infection than the females
