The results showed positive results for tuberculosis with prevalence of 42 (35%) out of 120 subjects. The age group 21-30 years had the highest prevalence of 18 (43%) out of 42 of PTB positive subjects. There was no significant difference between sex of subjects with PTB positivity (X: 1.33 at P= 0.12). There was significant difference between age groups of subjects with PTB positivity (X: 33.18 at P= 0.01).
