This study analyzed 45 tuberculosis cases from 1990-1994. Extrapulmonary tuberculosis occurred in 40% of patients, with Mycobacterium tuberculosis being the most common cause.

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Microbiology
  • Pulmonology

Context:

  • Review of medical records for Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex infections diagnosed between 1990 and 1994.
  • Identification of 45 patients with newly diagnosed tuberculosis.

Purpose:

  • To describe the incidence and manifestations of extrapulmonary tuberculosis.
  • To identify the causative agents of extrapulmonary tuberculosis.

Summary:

  • Pulmonary tuberculosis was diagnosed in 60% of patients.
  • Extrapulmonary tuberculosis was present in 40% of patients, either alone (18 patients) or with pulmonary involvement (5 patients).
  • Common extrapulmonary sites included miliary, joint, and meningeal tuberculosis. Mycobacterium tuberculosis was the predominant pathogen, followed by Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium bovis BCG.

Impact:

  • Highlights the diverse clinical presentations of tuberculosis, including extrapulmonary forms.
  • Provides epidemiological data on tuberculosis etiology in the studied period.
  • Informs clinical awareness and diagnostic approaches for extrapulmonary tuberculosis.
