This research aims to determine haemoglobin levels and erythrocytes index of patients with pulmonary TB at RSUD Dr. M. Haulussy Ambon in the periods from January 2017 - April 2018. This research uses a descriptive study by using medical records of patients with pulmonary TB. Among 65 patients with pulmonary TB, number of patients with anemia are 44 cases (67,7%) and 21 cases (32,3%) are not anemia. Pulmonary TB with anemia most suffered by male as much 24 cases (72,7%).

The most common types of anemia is hipocromic micrositer as much 23 cases (52,3%). Haemoglobin levels in patients with pulmonary TB are found most below the normal value or anemia and the most common types of anemia is hipocromic micrositer.
