Early diagnosis of disease and prompt initiation of treatment is essential for an effective tuberculosis control program especially in areas where there is a movement of TB patients from one area to another dense population. For this study, during the period of October 2016 to February 2019 all the samples were collected. For this study, during the period of October 2016 to February 2019 all the samples were collected. A series of 200 sputum specimens were collected from 91 suspected TB patients (39 patients provided three samples, 31 patients provided two samples and 21 provided only one sample). Out of 200 specimens, 67 were from home and 133 were spot samples. Out of 200, 59 sputum samples from 28 patients were positive for acid fast bacilli. Of 59 positives, 20 were home (34%) and 39 from spot specimens (66%).
