Prevalence of lower lung field tuberculosis was found to be 1.3% among patients of pulmonary tuberculosis, nearly three times more in females (2.3%) than in males (0.9%). Onset was mostly insiduous and duration less than 6 months. Right lung was involved more often. Consolidation with cavity was seen in 28.2%, productive infiltration, exudative infiltration and consolidation in 14.1 % each. Microscopic sputum smear was positive in 57.7% of the cases and 92.0% of them showed sputum conversion at the end of four months treatment.
