  abstract = {{T}his retrospective population-based study was conducted to analyze spatial patterns of tuberculosis ({TB}) incidence in {S}i {S}a {K}et province, {T}hailand. {TB} notification data from 2004 to 2008 collected from {TB} clinics throughout the province was used along with population data to reveal a descriptive epidemiology of {TB} incidences. {G}lobal clustering patterns of the occurrence were assessed by using global spatial autocorrelation techniques. {A}dditionally, local spatial pattern detection was performed by using local spatial autocorrelation and spatial scan statistic methods. {T}he findings indicated clusters of the disease occurred in the study area. {M}ore specifically, significantly high-rate clusters were mostly detected in {M}ueang {S}i {S}a {K}et and {K}hukhan districts, which are located in the northwestern part of the province, while significantly low-rate clusters were persistent in {K}antharalak and {B}enchalak districts, which are located at the southeastern area.},
