Inclusion criteria were medical records of patients aged 1 month to 18 years diagnosed with pulmonary TB who underwent chest X-ray (n=223).Results: The highest incidence of pulmonary TB was found in the group of 10–18 years (43.9%) and female (50.2%). The results of chest X-ray were infiltrates (65.0%), lymphadenopathy (11.7%), cavity (7.6%), calcifications (7.6%), miliary (4.9%), pleural effusion (3.1%) and atelectasis (1.8%).
