In 2021, Pamarican Public Health Center had the 2nd highest number of pulmonary tuberculosis/TB cases in the Ciamis Regency, Indonesia. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between host and environmental factors and pulmonary TB cases in Pamarican Public Health Center. This study used a case-control design. The case population was pulmonary TB patients at the Pamarican Public Health Center in 2021 - July 2022. The control population was people who had been confirmed negative for pulmonary TB at the Pamarican Health Center in 2021 – July 2022. A sample of 34 cases was taken using the total sampling technique. The purposive sampling technique took 68 controls. Independent variables included host variables consisting of smoking status and history of household contact, as well as environmental variables, including occupancy density and floor of the house. The dependent variable was the case of pulmonary TB. Data on smoking status and household contact history were collected through interviews. Data regarding house floor were collected through observation. In contrast, occupancy density were measured using a roll meter and interviews. Data analysis included univariate and bivariate analysis using the chi-square test. The study's results showed a significant relationship between the history of household contact (p = 0.000, OR = 9.905) and cases of TB. Meanwhile, the variables of smoking status, residential density, and house floor were not related to cases of pulmonary tuberculosis (p>0.05). A history of household contacts has been proven to be a determining factor in pulmonary tuberculosis cases.
