 The objective of this study was to compare the prevalence of tuberculosis, TB, among school-aged children in two different regions of Tajikistan. In Dushanbe, the capital city, 10.7% of children tested positive for TB, while in the rural area of the DJ. Rumi district, the figure was much higher, at 16.2%. Additionally, three children from the rural area had never been diagnosed or treated for TB before, compared to only four in Dushanbe. This suggests that there may be a lack of regular tuberculin diagnostic testing in the rural area, as well as a general lack of awareness about TB among healthcare professionals.
