Knowledge (p-value = 0.006 <0.05). the duration of treatment (p-value = 0.006 <0.05). While education (p-value = 0.740> 0.05), job p-value = 0.240> 0.05), earnings (p-value = 0.061> 0.05), race / ethnicity (p-value = 0.286> 0 , 05), there was no effect on the nutritional status of children under five suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis.
