  1. N = 2740#: The 2740 active TB cases described in Table 2 are the sum of 2738 Active TB and 2 Dead (one confirmed of PTB and another of PTB + EPTB) previously mentioned in Table 1;
  2. PTB*: pulmonary tuberculosis; SPPTB*: smear-positive PTB; SNPTB*: smear-negative PTB; EPTB*: extrapulmonary tuberculosis;
  3. The Chi-square (χ2) test/Mann–Whitney U test was used to assess differences in active TB according to sex with a p-value less than 0.05 is statistically significant.
