Abstract

A correct diagnosis of tuberculosis disease can be only stated by applying a medical test to patient’s phlegm. The result of this test is obtained after a time period of about 45 days. The purpose of this study is to develop a data mining solution that makes diagnosis of tuberculosis as accurate as possible and helps deciding whether it is reasonable to start tuberculosis treatment on suspected patients without waiting for the exact medical test results. We proposed the use of Sugeno-type “adaptive-network-based fuzzy inference system” (ANFIS) to predict the existence of mycobacterium tuberculosis. Data set collected from 503 different patient records which are obtained from a private health clinic (consent of physicians and patients). Patient record has 30 different attributes which covers demographical and medical test data. ANFIS model was generated by using 250 records. Also, rough set method was implemented by using the same data set. The ANFIS model classifies the instances with correctness of 97 %, whereas rough set algorithm does the same classification with correctness of 92 %. This study has a contribution on forecasting patients before the medical tests.
