Clinical and demographic data were analysed. Crude and adjusted odds ratios were calculated.<\/sec><sec><title>RESULTS<\/title>The study included 39 confirmed TB cases and 512 controls. A total of 20 clinical factors were analysed. Bivariate\n analysis identified three statistically significantly associated factors. These were 1)\n cough duration of \u22652 weeks<\/jats:italic>\n (odds ratio [OR] = 5.4; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.5\u201311.6), 2)\n fever duration of \u22652 weeks<\/jats:italic>\n (OR = 3.3; 95% CI: 1.4\u20137.7), and 3)\n Mantoux test\n \u2265 5 mm<\/jats:italic>\n (OR = 4.4; 95% CI: 1.4\u201314.2). Multivariate regression analysis revealed that 1) cough duration of \u22652 weeks (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 4.2; 95% CI: 1.5\u201311.7) and 2)\n hepatomegaly<\/jats:italic>\n (AOR = 2.4; 95% CI: 1.01\u20135.5) were independently and significantly associated\n with TB.<\/sec><sec><title>CONCLUSION<\/title>Study findings align with paediatric TB diagnostic criteria, which emphasise persistent cough \u22652 weeks as an important criterion of presumptive TB.
