Introduction: Indonesia is currently ranked 2nd in the country with the highest number of tuberculosis (TB) cases. TB disease in children cannot be separated from the role of nutritional status. Poor nutrition can cause immunological disorders and affect the disease healing process.
Methodology: The research method used was cross-sectional which was carried out at Central General Hospital X in July 2019. A sample of 72 pediatric tuberculosis patients was taken using a simple random sampling technique. The data used is secondary data from medical records for the period January 2016-December 2018 to look at the characteristics of pediatric TB patients and analyze the evaluation of nutritional status after treatment. Data analysis used the non-parametric Wilcoxon test.
Results: The highest age was in the 5-14 year category (51.4%). In the Wilcoxon test, a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05) was obtained, which stated that there was a significant difference between nutritional status before and after treatment.
Conclusion: Compliance with pediatric TB patients in undergoing treatment will improve the patient’s nutritional status.
Key words: Child tuberculosis / characteristic / nutritional status
