The monthly trend of TB cases rose significantly by 0.002 (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.001), indicating an effect over time. In Salas-e Babajani, there was no immediate change in TB cases, but there was a significant long-term decline compared to the period before the earthquake (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.001).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Earthquake is one of the natural crises that provide the conditions for the increase of TB.
