Abstract

Distribution of EPTB in developing and developed countries is different. We evaluated 146 cases (96 Female and 50 male) of EPTB in Chaharmal va-Bakhtiari province in central part of Iran during a period of 8 years.In this survey EPTB was 27% of all tuberculosis patients and relative increased incidence of EPTB seen in recent years. Young female (20-39) years and older male (60-69) years were more predispose to EPTB. Overall female had twice chance of developing disease than male.Tuberculos lymphadenitis was the most common EPTB (42%) and after that skeletal tuberculosis (18%) and gastrointestinal tuberculosis (10%) was seen. T.B pleuritis was not common as in developed countries.Biopsy of suspected organ was the most useful method for definitive diagnosis. Majority (70%) of all cases had positive Tuberculin skin test.We conclude that increase cases of EPTB are due to improvement of diagnosis methods or missing of diagnosing of new cases of pulmonary tuberculosis.Increased rate of incidence of skeletal tuberculosis in Iran should be evaluated in future studies.
