description	There has been an increasing amount of materials surrounding health-seeking behaviour in recent years. However, a relatively small proportion of literature has focused upon health behaviours and types of health services used by the poor in rural Bangladesh, particularly ultra poor households. This study aimed to explore the health domain of the ultra poor, including perceptions of ill health, knowledge and treatment-seeking behaviours in conjunction with the rationale behind these decisions. Data were collected through qualitative methods from the TUP members and their husbands or eldest sons in three villages within Nilphamari district. Findings indicate the regressive nature of burdens associated with ill health carry a number of similar impacts upon TUP members compared to other poor households in Bangladesh and the developing world. Within this concept the ultra poor's experience of ill health is compounded by financial and time constraints, lack of health education and awareness of treatment facilities for particular diseases, and cultural rationality in selection of health care providers.
