Abstract
Pulmonary TB was the highest infectious disease in the world. TB eradication is the main focus of the government. Many factors can be affected the occurrence of pulmonary TB one of them is the condition of the home including lighting and ventilation. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the level of lighting and ventilation on the incidence rate of pulmonary TB. The type of this research was correlational analytic with a case-control approach. Case samples are 40 patients with pulmonary TB, and control samples are 40 respondents who have not been exposed to pulmonary TB. The results of this study indicate there is a relationship between lighting at home with the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis, with the value of the statistical test results p = 0.036. While the measurement of the relationship of ventilation with the occurrence of pulmonary TB mentioned no relationship with the value of the statistical test results p = 0.309. The conclusion is that lighting factors are a risk factor for TB incidents, so the community needs to arrange their homes to get adequate lighting.
