“…16 Contrary to this, a study by Marra et al showed more female patient. 17 Fifty one percent of patients were in age group of 20-39, 31.43 percent were in the age group of 40-59 and 17.14 percent were in age group 60-79. So majority of the patients are from 20-39 years of age.…”

Background: Tuberculosis is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity around the world, infecting approximately 8 billion people, with an annual death rate of close to 1 million. The present study was conducted to evaluate the impact of tuberculosis treatment on health related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients with active and inactive tuberculosis by evolving HRQoL questionnaire (SF-36v2). Methodology: A prospective follow-up study was conducted for total 70 patients (56 men and 14 women) diagnosed with tuberculosis (TB) in Navodaya Medical College Hospital & Research Centre, Raichur for a period of 6 months. The HRQoL of TB patients was assessed in three phases: at the onset of treatment, at one month (middle of intensive phase) and two months (end of intensive phase), after the initiation of anti-tuberculosis therapy. Results: A total of 70 patients completed the SF-36v2 questionnaire at the start of their treatment. Out of these, 53 and 41 completed the questionnaire at the second and third follow-ups, respectively. The mean physical component summary (PCS) scores at the start of the treatment, after one month and at the intensive phase were 42.09 ± 16.77, 53.89 ± 13.64 and 65.24 ± 12.86, respectively. Similarly, the mean mental component summary (MCS) scores at the start of the treatment, after one month and at the intensive phase were 43 ± 17.07, 52.19 ± 14.12 and 62.17 ± 15.12, respectively. Conclusion: The HRQoL improved with the treatment, the scores on component summary measures revealed the improvement of both physical and mental health among study patients at the end of intensive phase.

“…The data was based on comparative studies of TB population from China , two from Malaysia [18,23], five from India [14,15,29,[35][36][37][38], four from Canada [5,24,25,30] one form each UK [17] Pakistan [35], Spain [36] Taiwan [28] South Africa [37] and Turkey [39]. Among the selected articles fourteen studies were cross sectional [5,14,26,27,30,33,[34][35][36][37][38][39][40] and sixteen were prospective cohort based studies [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]29,31,32,41].

“…An article published by Chamla et al [16] described the comparison of TB population group from general population. Another study used normative data from the Canadian population as the reference group and two studies included people with LTBI controls [20,30,39]. The sample size varied among all the studies and only one study reported statistical analysis of sample size [30].…”

“…Generic instrument measures were used in 10 studies with different language versions of SF-36 [5,[16][17][18][19][20]24,25,38,40,41]. SF-36 is a generic health outcomes measure consisting of 36 items aggregated into eight sub-scales of PF (physical functioning), RP (role physical), BP (body pain), GH (general health), VT (vitality), SF (social functioning), RE (role emotion) and MH (mental health) [43].…”

“…Studies have reported that when patients were evaluated with SF-36, they showed significant improvements in HRQoL at the completion of intensive phase of treatment [17,20]. A validation study of SF36 was described by Chamla [16] which suggested that the validity and reliability scores were high at the end of the treatment with Cronchbachs score >0.7 [16].…”

Non-Hispanic blacks represent 13 % of the U.S.-born population but account for 37 % of tuberculosis (TB) cases reported in U.S.-born persons. Few studies have explored whether this disparity is associated with differences in TB-related knowledge and attitudes. Interviews were conducted with U.S.-born, non-Hispanic blacks and whites diagnosed with TB from August 2009 to December 2010 in cities and states that accounted for 27 % of all TB cases diagnosed in these racial groups in the U.S. during that time period. Of 477 participants, 368 (77 %) were non-Hispanic black and 109 (23 %) were non-Hispanic white. Blacks had significantly less knowledge and more misconceptions about TB transmission and latent TB infection than whites. Most TB patients in both groups recalled being given TB information; having received such information was strongly correlated with TB knowledge. Providing information to U.S.-born TB patients significantly increased their knowledge and understanding of TB. More focused efforts are needed to provide TB information to U.S.-born black TB patients.
