Abstract:
Katsina state is one of the least privileged states in Nigeria with a high poverty rate, low literacy level and an ailing health system. Despite its small population, it accounted for 4.5% of unnotified tuberculosis (TB) cases in Nigeria in 2015. It was earmarked as a high priority state along with 12 others by the National Tuberculosis Leprosy and Buruli Ulcer Control Program (NTBLCP). This study seeks to describe the spatial distribution of TB Case Notification Rates (CNR) across Local Government Areas (LGAs), find possible explanations for the patterns observed and guide the NTBLCP in finding the missing TB cases.
