This type of researchis analytical research using a retrospective approach. The sample in this study were patients with suspected TBand MDR-TB who had performed microscopic tests and TCM in February – April at 2020 in the ClinicalPathology Laboratory of RSUD Dr. H Chasan Boesoirie Ternate, who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria.Data were analyzed using the SPSS program analysis was carried out in stages, namely by univariate andbivariate using chi-square test. From 100 samples, the results of RMT examination with TB suspects were 30rifampicin sensitive samples with 2 rifampicin resistance and 5 rifampin sensitive samples for TB MDR-TBsuspects RMT examination results. Chi-square test results obtained the value of p = 000 (p <0.05).
