Despite the considerable attention given to traditional microbiological and clinical indicators in National TB programs, the effect of tuberculosis on the quality of life of patients has largely been neglected. This study was planned to compare the quality of life of MDR pulmonary tuberculosis with the drug-sensitive pulmonary tuberculosis and to find the association of different domains of quality of life with selected socio-demographic variables.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This is a facility-based observational analytical study done at a District Tuberculosis Centre, Kolkata, with MDR adult pulmonary tuberculosis patients as cases and drug-sensitive adult pulmonary tuberculosis patients as controls selected in a 1:2 ratio (114 cases and 228 controls).
