This research is an experimental research with pre-experimental design one group pre-test-post-test. The subjects and object of this research were positive pulmonary TB patients as cases and UVC-Aromatherapy. The analysis was conducted by the Mann-Whitney Test with a confidence level of = 0.05. The analysis can be significant difference UVC-aromatherapy treatment against impairment of the germs Tb Lung Positive Patients (p=0,026). UVC-Aromatherapy can be used as a form of treatment Positive Patients with Pulmonary Tb, which can sync yours with pulmonary Tb program in the Department of Health.
