Abstract Background: According to the Global Tuberculosis Report 2019, Vietnam is one of the 20 countries with the highest TB prevalence in the world. Pulmonary tuberculosis has a significant effect on lung functions, causing many obstacles in daily activities and affects the quality of patient’s lives.Methods: The case-series study conducted on 43 newly-diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis patients at the Department of Tuberculosis - Military Hospital 103 within 4 months. The aims of the current study were to evaluate the validity of the Vietnamese version of the St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire and to investigate the relationship between SGRQ scores and the clinical and subclinical symptoms in new pulmonary tuberculosis patients.Results: The results indicate that Vietnamese version of the SGRQ has high reliability with Cronbach's alpha of Total score was 0.9451, Cronbach's alpha of all domains was above 0.6, of which the Symptom domain was 0.6635, the Impact domain was 0.9069, the Activity domain was 0.9121. The study also showed that SGRQ score was proportional to the aggregate size of all cavities on chest X-ray (r = 0.3772) and inversely proportional to BMI (r = -0.2843), MGIT days to positivity (r = -0.1635).Conclusions: The Vietnamese version of the SGRQ is a highly reliable and valuable questionnaire in assessing symptoms and life effects in new PTB patients. We recommend it as symptom measurement and quality of life evaluation in patients with new PTB in future studies.Trial registration: The study protocol was approved by the Ethical Review Board Committee of Vietnam Military Medical University (IRB No. 250/2020/QĐ-HVQY) and by the local ethics committee of Military hospital 103. All participants had provided written informed consents for this study.

The Relationship

The impact and dangers  of  Pulmonary Tuberculosis  incidence is causing death. In Bengkulu province in 2011 there were 1.565 cases of  pulmonary  tuberculosis in 2012  there were 1,670 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis in 2013 there were 2.671 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis and in 2014 there were 2.014 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis this showed that pulmonary tuberculosis was still high. The purpose of this study was to study the relationship of PMO role with                         the success of the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis patients in working area of Sukamerindu Public Health Center Bengkulu. The type of research used was                 an analytic survey, with Cross Sectional research design. Population in this research was all patient of pulmonary tuberculosis in working area of  Sukamerindu Public Health Center Bengkulu which had treatment 5 months amounted to 36 people in 2015. Samples taken by using total sampling which amounted to 36 people. Data analysis was done by univariate and bivariate analysis using uni Chi-Square (χ2). The results of this study were 41 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis,  20 people (55.6%)  had good role of  PMO, and there were 30 people (83.3%) who had successful treatment, there was a significant relationship between the role of PMO with successful treatment of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis with moderate category. It was  suggested to the related institution to improve and supervise the cadre of  (PMO) so that the success of   the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis will  increasing. Keywords : drug  supervisor (PMO), successful  treatment, pulmonary  tuberculosis  patients

The objective: to assess the effect of active finding of tuberculosis cases on the frequency of bacterial excretion, lung tissue destruction, and treatment outcomes.Subjects and Methods. The characteristics of adult patients (newly detected - new cases and those with relapsed pulmonary tuberculosis) were studied in 2 phases: a) 1,404 cases, including 814 actively found, at detection; b) the outcomes of the completed first course of chemotherapy in 946 patients, including 565 actively detected, registered for treatment in 2017 and 2018. Adjusted relative risk (aOR) and statistical significance of differences were calculated.Results. Patients detected actively versus those detected by self presentation to a medical unit had a lower level of positive results of smear microscopy (aOR = 2.7; p < 0.01) and lung tissue destruction (aOR = 1.4; p = 0.01), but the level of positive culture was equal (aOR = 0.9; p = 0.6).  Active case finding had no effect on treatment failure rate but if a patient is HIV negative and young, it reduced the risk of death in tuberculosis patients during treatment (aOR = 0.3; p < 0.01). Active case finding, along with no history of previous treatment, negative HIV status, and older age were inversely associated with treatment interruption (aOR = 0.3; p < 0.01).
