| Abstract: | Objectives of study: The main objective of the study was to screen the family members of PLHA with Sputum Positive for Tuberculosis and find t the prevalence of tuberculosis among the family members of PLHA with Sputum Positive Tuberculosis in a selected district. Methods: A cross sectional exploratory cohort study was conducted among 122 family members of 34 index cases. Each contact was screened for symptoms of tuberculosis like cough, cold, fever, loss of appetite, severe weight loss, night sweats and lymph node enlargement and symptomatically positive patients were instructed to undergo CBNAAT and chest X-ray. Results: From 122 contacts 17 were symptomatically positively with an average of 13.93% whereas 100 (81.97%.) were screened non-symptomatically. 17 symptomatically positive contacts were instructed to undergo for CBNAAT and chest x–Ray. CBNAAT testing was done for 7 (41.7%) individuals whereas the other 10 contacts (58.82%) were reluctant to provide sputum for CBNAAT. Among the 7 contacts who were tested for CBNAAT, M. TB was not detected in any of the samples. Despite Chest x-Ray was mandatory for all the 17 symptomatically positive patients, only 5 (29.41%) came willingly for radiological test. No significant impressions related to pulmonary Tuberculosis was ruled out in the Chest x-Ray. On the other hand 12 (70.59%) contacts were uncooperative for radiographic screening. Conclusion: No any prevalence case of tuberculosis found among the family members of PLHA with Sputum Positive Tuberculosis in the selected population .Lack of cooperation for diagnostic screening test and drop-outs of the contact persons during the research study was the main challenge faced during contact tracing. Routine programmatic campaigns, large scale community awareness, patient counselling on problem solving should be included to promote the knowledge regarding the importance of investigations required to promote the health of the contacts. |
