The results of bivariate analysis by implementing Chi Square test showed that the variables related were; ventilation area (p = 0.011, OR = 3.4) home lighting (p = 0.020, OR = 3.0), cigarette exposure (p = 0.042, OR = 4, 5), contact history (p = 0,000 OR = 8,6), maternal behavior (p = 0,029, OR = 3.0) with the results of multivariate analysis by implementing logistic regression test showing the contact history (p = 0,000, OR = 12,0) and ventilation area (p = 0,003, OR = 5,4). Conclusion: Ventilation area, home lighting, cigarette exposure, contact history and maternal behavior were the risk factors for the incidence of Tuberculosis in children at Sumedang District with the dominant factor are contact history and ventilation area.
