Tuberculosis is still a cause of severe mortality and morbidity. This study is aimed at evaluating patients followed by childhood tuberculosis. Method and Requirements: 109 patients were taken to work. Patients' personal and family demographic characteristics, clinical, laboratory and radiological examinations and treatments were recorded. 50,5% of the patients were male, 50% from rural and 69.7% of the patients had lower income. 58.3 percent of them smoke in their homes, 23.9 percent in family and 2.8 percent in non-family contact. The most frequent complaints of patients were cough and fever. The most tuberculosis holding place was the lungs with 78.9%. In 60% of patients, PPD and 44% BCG were positive. The most common direct graphics and tomography findings were hillers and mediastinal lymphadenopathy. Only 12.9% of patients had at least one method of acid-resistant basil (ARB) positivity and 17% of patients had reproduction in culture. A positive result was obtained in 33.3 percent of 36 patients who studied polymerase chain reaction (PCR). 12 patients were diagnosed with biopsy. The patient’s treatment consistency was 90 percent and full healing was 81.6 percent. Tuberculosis is a serious public health problem in low, crowded families with education and socio-economic levels. Internal and non-family contact is a risk factor for children. The diagnosis rate is low through production in the culture that is the gold standard in the diagnosis, so alternative diagnosis methods are needed.
