Tuberculosis is a worldwide health problem affecting one third of world’s population and Pakistan is no exception. In this study, we used a structured and close-ended questionnaire to collect data about sociodemographic prevalence of tuberculosis, its risk factors, multiple drug resistance tuberculosis and clinical characterization of tuberculosis from Nishtar Hospital Multan, Pakistan.
