INTRODUCTION: We aimed to expose the status of @entity378 in Corum, to analyze the conducted studies about the @entity378 control on provincial basis and contribute to future studies. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The records of the @entity1 who were followed and treated between 2005 and 2010 at @entity378 dispensary in Corum were respectively investigated. The statistical analyses of the data were completed as using SPSS 16.0. RESULTS: A total of 628 @entity1 were enrolled in this study; 59.8% (n= 376) were male, 40.2% (n= 252) were female. The ratio of the pulmonary and the extrapulmonary involvement were detected as 63.7% (n= 400) and 36.3% (n= 228) respectively. The incidence of new cases was 93.5% (n= 587) whereas the percentage of previously treated cases was 6.5% (n= 41). The 0.7% (n= 4) percentage of the @entity1 were multi-drug resistant therefore they had been treated with secondary group of drugs. 400 @entity1 with @entity1907 were investigated about the ratios of the following parameters; performed microscopic examination, the positivity of the microscopic examination, the performed culture examination, the positivity of the culture examination and the performed drug susceptibility test. According to this; the results were determined as 85.5% (n= 334), 44.5% (n= 178), 66% (n= 264), 35% (n= 140) and 15% (n= 60) respectively. Directly observed treatment was performed 49.7% (n= 312) of the @entity1 by health care workers. The success of treatment for all @entity1 with @entity378 was determined as 93.8% (n= 576). CONCLUSION: According to the data of our study, we can conclude that, although there were some deficiencies about control of @entity378 , the conducted control program was successful in Corum. However; having a large number of young @entity1 with @entity378 proved that the transmission was still going on. Besides; the examined tests like microscopy, culture and drug susceptibility were found low in rates. The practices of directly observed treatment should provide to be improved.
