Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The bacteria can enter the lungs, causing the patient to experience shortness of breath and chronic coughing. The infection process in TB progresses through three main stages: primary infection, latent infection, and active infection. During the primary infection stage, the bacteria enter the lungs through inhaled air. If the immune system successfully controls the bacteria, the infection becomes latent, where the bacteria remain inactive and cause no symptoms. However, if the immune system fails, the infection becomes active, and the bacteria attack healthy lung cells, leading to severe symptoms. Tuberculosis remains a major cause of global morbidity and mortality. According to the 2022 WHO report, Indonesia ranks second in the world with an estimated 969,000 TB cases, or 354 per 100,000 people, and a mortality rate of 144,000, or 52 per 100,000 people. This study aims to improve the accuracy of TB diagnosis through the application of the Naive Bayes algorithm, applied to patient data from the Pegangsaan Dua B Community Health Center. The dataset includes 1,527 training data and 1,029 testing data, covering attributes such as patient name, gender, age, identification number, registration date, address, diagnosis status, and diagnosis results. The results indicate that the Naive Bayes algorithm achieved an accuracy of 99.71%, showing its potential for early and accurate TB diagnosis prediction.
