    AbstractIn a retrospective study we reviewed all records of patients with newly diagnosed Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex infection during the years 1990-1994. Of the 45 patients identified, 27 (60%) had only pulmonary tuberculosis and 18 (40%) had extrapulmonary tuberculosis with (5 patients, 11%) or without (13 patients, 18%) concomitant pulmonary infection. The extrapulmonary manifestations were as follows: miliary 5, joint 3, meningeal 2, pleural 2, kidney 1, peritoneal 1, bone 1, psoas 1, lymphatic 1, and anal 1. In the 18 patients with extrapulmonary tuberculosis the infection was due to Mycobacterium tuberculosis 14 times, Mycobacterium bovis twice, and Mycobacterium bovis BCG once.
