Abstract

Background & Objective: 15-20% of TB cases are; extra pulmonary TUBERCULOSIS (EPTB). Abdominal TB is the most common type of extra intestinal TB. Signs; and symptoms of abdominal TB are unspecific. In this; study, we identified all GITB cases in GOLESTAN province (Iran) between 1999 and 2003 and determined their demographic characteristics. Materials & Methods: We reviewed all new cases of TB reported during 1999-2003 from TB centers of GOLESTAN province. Then EPTB and especially GI and abdominal TB cases were selected. We completed a questionnaire containing demographic information for each of them. The information entered the computer in SPSS-13 was used to analyze the data.Results: 30 patients had been treated for GI and abdominal TB, most of them were females (22 cases, 73.3%). Mean age of the patients was 32.03±13.73 with higher incidence in age before 40 years old (70%). Most common complaints of the patients were fatigue, weight loss, anorexia, fever and abdominal pain, respectively. In 66.7% of patients the diagnosis was pathologically documented.Conclusion: Our data suggest that 38.46% of all TB cases in GOLESTAN province were EPTB, and this scale is higher than other studies. In this study, 5.27% of EPTB cases were GI and abdominal TB, higher than the world reports (3%).
