Abstract

M. TUBERCULOSIS infects one third of the world's population. Although considered primarily a pulmonary disease, TUBERCULOSIS can affect any organ system. One third of patients with TUBERCULOSIS wi11develop an extrapulmonary manifestation.The study of extrapulmonary TUBERCULOSIS (EPT) has been performed in low scale in our country and the relevant information is too low.This research is an analytic descriptive study, Which conducted to determine the epidemiological characteristics of extrapulmonary TUBERCULOSIS diagnosed in population of Mashhad during 5 years period from (1997-2001).During 5 years period, in Mashhad we retrospectively collected epidemiological data on all patients with newly diagnosed EPT. We found 1526 cases of EPT giving a mean annual incidence of 15.2 per 105 in that period.The results showed that 23 forms of EPT were diagnosed and tuberculous lymphadenitis was the most common form of EPT. The most common age of patients was 15-24 years (19.9%). The disease was more common in the female (63.3%). Foreign immigrants in Mashhad accounted for 397(26%) of 1526 cases of EPT diagnosed in Mashhad during 5 years period.In this study it was found that there is no significant changes in incidence of total cases of TUBERCULOSIS (Pulmonary and extrapulmonary) during 5 years period. The rate of EPT to total cases of TUBERCULOSIS was 33.53%.
