| Abstract | ||
| The study was carried out to identify the impact and pattern of extrapulmonary tuberculosis in Salahiddin governorate during 2009. Four hundred and forty one tuberculosis patients (sputum positive, sputum negative and extrapulmonary) who were diagnosed and treated in between January 2009 and December 2009 in the Consultant Clinic of Pulmonary Diseases in Salahiddin governorate were included in this study. Extrapulmonary tuberculosis accounted for about 25.7% of total tuberculosis cases. Tuberculous Pleural effusion was found to be the commonest form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, comprising about 39% of the extrapulmonary cases. Tuberculous lymphadenitis was noted in about 30% of cases, bone and joint tuberculosis in 4% and other forms in 27% of cases. Eighty four percent of Extrapulmonary tuberculosis cases were under the treatment, 14% cured after completing the treatment and 2% of cases died. | ||
