Aims and objectives: Extra-pulmonary tuberculosis (EPT) previously considered as rare would seems to be progressing thus constituting, at present, a real public health problem. Methods: Our study aims to determine frequency and characteristics of PET diagnosed in the medical microbiology department of CHU Mustapha (MMDCM), Algiers. A retrospective descriptive study was conducted over 3 years (2012, 2013 and 2014) identifying cases of PET diagnosed in the MMDCM. Results: From January 2012 to December 2014, 3529 samples were received at MMDCM and seeded in culture on Löwenstein -Jensen: 1814 from pulmonary origin and 1715 from extra-pulmonary sites. Of the 153 positive cultures, 74 were extra-pulmonary, ie 48.4%. Pleural tuberculosis was the most reported form (39%). Peritoneal and pericardial tuberculosis were also reported at 6.75% and 2.70% respectively. The neuro-meningeal, osteoarticular and lymph node forms accounted for 5.4%, 10.8% and 9.45%, respectively. We noted a slight predominance of women. Conclusions: The EPT rate determined during our study reflects the progress of this infection. There is also a diversity of clinical forms, which should encourage systematic bacteriological confirmation of suspected cases, to ensure regular and continuous monitoring. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
