Tuberculosis incidence and treatment outcomes in the Tarmaber District, Ethiopia: a five-year retrospective study
The study revealed a declining trend in TB incidence alongside relatively high treatment success rates. However, the low detection rate for smear-positive TB and the rising trend of TB/HIV co-infection highlights the need for strengthened diagnostic capacity, improved screening, and integrated TB/HIV services in the district.
