Tuberculosis is considered highly zoonotic wide spread disease. specimens were subjected to bacteriological study including microscopical by ZN stained smear, culture onto L-J medium and identification of isolates by biochemical reaction. In the current study using Dot blot, and dipstick tests (A new simple tuberculosis screening tests) are, economic, inexpensive compared with ELISA and LCD array test. Dot blot test produces results in less than 150 mins, while in case of dipstick test gives results in less than 30 minutes; these tests could be particularly useful in developing countries or remote areas that may lack access to expensive testing equipment for diagnosis of tuberculosis. The sensitivities and specificities were higher in the current study compared with other diagnosis commercial kits.
