Abstract
The persistence of infectious PTB as a major public health problem results from the presence of individuals with active infection in whom the disease remains undiagnosed or in whom a delay in diagnosis occurs. The varied quality of healthcare provided by public and private sectors, and the failure of some healthcare providers to diagnose tuberculosis promptly and to ensure the delivery of adequate treatment are two major factors contributing to the poor control of tuberculosis.
The aim of this work was to study the way non pulmonologists in Qena governorate deal with tuberculosis cases as regards detection, diagnosis, treatment and to what extent the management conforms to the national and international standards of care of tuberculosis.
