This study reviewed 690 tuberculosis cases over 25 years, finding 67% pulmonary and 33% extra-pulmonary tuberculosis. It discusses transmission and rising extra-pulmonary cases in general practice.

Area of Science:

  • General Practice
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant global health concern.
  • General practices serve as a crucial point for TB diagnosis and management.
  • Understanding TB incidence patterns is vital for effective public health strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To audit tuberculosis cases within a busy general practice over a 25-year period.
  • To analyze the proportion of pulmonary versus extra-pulmonary tuberculosis.
  • To explore the modes of transmission and reasons for changes in incidence.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective audit of 46,276 patient records.
  • Identification and classification of 690 confirmed tuberculosis cases.

  • Analysis of case distribution (pulmonary vs. extra-pulmonary) and modes of transmission.

    • Main Results:

    • A total of 690 tuberculosis cases were identified out of 46,276 patients.
    • Pulmonary tuberculosis accounted for 67% of cases.
    • Extra-pulmonary tuberculosis constituted 33% of cases.

    Conclusions:

    • General practices manage a substantial number of tuberculosis cases.
    • A significant proportion of tuberculosis cases present as extra-pulmonary.
    • Further investigation into the drivers of increased extra-pulmonary tuberculosis is warranted.
