Abstract :
Tuberkulosis adalah penyakit infeksi yang disebabkan oleh bakteri Mycobacterium

1,08% ? 15,90%. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui karakteristik pasien
tuberkulosis paru anak usia 0 ? 16 tahun di RSUP Persahabatan periode Januari 2017

(47,8%), jenis kelamin laki ? laki (52,2%), dan status gizi baik (50,7%) merupakan
kelompok yang terbanyak terkena TB paru. Hasil pemeriksaan BTA negatif terdapat
pada 27 subyek (40,3%). Pemeriksaan foto toraks paling banyak ditemukan gambaran
sugestif mendukung TB sebanyak 48 subyek (71,6%) dan gambaran infiltrat
sebanyak 28 subyek (58,5%). Dari 37 subyek yang dilakukan tes tuberkulin, hanya 16
yang menunjukkan hasil positif. Tes cepat molekuler hanya dilakukan pada 20
subyek, dimana 11 subyek memberi hasil positif. Simpulan. Prevalensi terbanyak
