Percentages, means and standard deviations analyses were conducted at p=0.05 significance level. The age range of participants was 20 to 56 years with a mean ± standard deviation (SD) of 42.73±2.93 years. The finding from the study revealed that there was no significant differences in knowledge of preventive practices of TB among patients (p=2.40±1.65).
