Extrapulmonary tuberculosis: risk factors
https://doi.org/10.51523/2708-6011.2021-18-4-6
Abstract
Objective. To identify the main demographic and clinical risk factors for the development of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB).
Materials and methods. A retrospective study of tuberculosis cases registered from 2016 to 2020 in the Gomel region was conducted (330 patients with EPTB and 2,505 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis). The odds ratios were calculated to assess the risk factors for the development of EPTB.
Results. The prevalence of EPTB was studied over the course of five years. The most significant risk factors for the development of tuberculosis in extrapulmonary localizations have been identified.
Conclusion. The risk factors for the development of EPTB are age (EPTB often develops in children and older persons), females, and in those who have had an episode of tuberculosis previously. Awareness of the predisposing factors may help physicians maintain a high index of suspicion regarding the development of EPTB.
