Tuberculosis is persisntent bacterial infection caused by Mycobaterium tuberculosis. The types of laboratory examination currently used in the TB program was microscopic examination, culture, sensitivity test. Sputum quality is one of the determinants of the examination. Macroscopically, good quality sputum is thick, purulent, contains more than 25 leukocyte cells per field of view, has rust green color with a volume 3,5 ml per collection, and spesific smell.
