Several case studies are presented in this paper to emphasize that the social and cultural dimensions of TB are of paramount importance from the management point of view. The conclusions drawn were: 1) The social stigma against TB was still dominant regardless of caste, social class, economic status, level of literacy and geographic location, 2) Maid servants appeared to be one of the most important transmitting agents of TB, 3) The perception of the patient towards his/her life and people (society) changed within moments of learning that they had contracted TB, 4) The physical recovery of the patient was faster than their psychological recovery. It is recommended that the NTCP take note of the behavioural dimensions of the TB patient from the management perspective.
