Abstract
A high rate of successful treatment is reported with application of the NTP (2012) guidelines which was associated with middle age of the patients (16-35â¯years), well education, mild to moderate advanced X-ray picture and absence of either history of contact with positive TB case or previous history of anti-tuberculous treatment(new case). Illiteracy, history of contact to positive TB cases, far advanced chest X-ray of pulmonary TB and previously treated cases on CAT II regimen could be considered as predictors of unsuccessful outcome.
