| The records of 1374 patients labeled as relapsing TB cases, out of a total 5662 records labeled as positive TB cases (new positive cases+relapsed cases), in Baghdad City during the period 2001-2004 (24.26%), were studied regarding the age groups, sex trends(numbers of patients through age groups and percentages) ratios (relapsed/total positive, relapsed/new positives and male/female). The study reveals that numbers of relapsing TB cases and percentages are increasing with time for both sexes. The highest figure (1078) and percentage (84.5%) are among age groups ranging from (15-45 years old) and male /female ratios are ranging two to three times along the years of study. Percentages of the relapsed cases to the total positive cases are increasing with years of study as (16.5%, 19.9%, 28.5% and 30.9%) respectively. | ||
