The data was analyzed using chi square test with degree of significance (α)=0,05.The research result showed that the risk factor correlate with the finding of pulmonary TB cases were education background (p value=0,027, OR=8,00), knowledge (p value=0,023, OR=9,75), and training (p value=0,023, OR=9,75). Variables which uncorrelated were age (p value=0,264), gender (p value=0,449), duration of employment (p value=0,245), and officers’ behavior (p value=0,053).
