Background: Pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) was a global health burden in low-income and fragile developing countries with poor health systems districted by war, such as Sudan. The purpose of this study was to look at the demographic characteristics of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, such as gender, age, material status, education, occupation, and treatment delays. Methodology: We conducted a retrospective descriptive. The study included about 533 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. The data gathering was done in August 2024. A data collection sheet was produced, and all pertinent information was acquired. Results: The results showed that 76% of 533 pulmonary tuberculosis patients were males and 24% were females, with the primary age groups being 26-35 years old (27.5%) and 18-25 years old (22%). More than 51% were from metropolitan regions, with a primary education, and 29% worked as gold miners, followed by free workers. Conclusion: PTB represents the Sudan's biggest health problem, impacted the productive and working-age population, as well as the destitute community, causing significant financial, security, and environmental issues. Direct support for the TB control program has raised community awareness regarding early detection and treatment of PTB.
