Özet
In this study, frequency of BCG vaccine, infection prevalence of tuberculosis (IP) and annual risks of tuberculosis infection (AIR) were compared in the city center and in towns of Canakkale under the control of Eanakkale Tuberculosis Dispensary. The results of BCG screning and tuberculin skin test were performed in 1491 first class students in primary schools. There was no significant relation between the number of the students without scar and with one scar only in the city center and towns (p>0.001). 6.5% out of 170 students without the scars and 4.1% out of 1321 students with the scar were evaluated as TT positive, and it was found that there was a significant relation between TT positivity (p<0.001). It was determined that the IP is 0.89% for the towns, 0.64% for the city center and 0.73% for the overall city. The natural infection prevalence (NIP) was determined as 8.06%, 5.55% and 6.4%, respectively, while the AIR was determined as 1.18%, 0.73%, 0.88%. In the result of this resarch, although the administration frequency of BCG vaccine was the same, IP, NIP, AIR rates of the students in the towns were higher in comparison with the city center (p<0.001).
