In Indonesia, every year there are 1,3 million children under 15 years old have infected M. tuberculosis and 450.000 children died because of TB. Based on the age-based diagnose report, a percentage of TB patients on child group (0-14 years old) in year 2009 at BP4 Purwokerto was equal 26,42%. This condition was probably happened due to any contact inside a house with adult TB sufferers. The objective of this research is to find out the association between the contact history of TB and the occurrence of pulmonary TB on a child group at BP4 Purwokerto.
