In order to determine the problems of diagnosis, treatment, screening, interaction of relatives, the sense of TB patients about their disease and to provide strategies for disease control, opinion of health care workers and patients were evaluated. FINDINGS:The results show that dealing with TB patients in the two sexes are different, so that females are more susceptible to depression and mental illness, also the patients, family and relatives have less communication with TB patients. Patients try to hide their disease for fear of stigma. Unanswered question in many minds is whether TB is curable or not? Environmental factors, genetic tendency, social, cultural and economic factors and the lack of information in the residents of this region, are the most important problems which health care workers present.
