Pulmonary tuberculosis in Europe has been decreasing over the last decades. This study evaluates the current importance of extrapulmonary tuberculosis and its trend over the last 10 years. In a University Hospital in Spain, 20% of all bacteriologically confirmed tuberculosis cases were extrapulmonary. The most frequent site was the urinary tract (73.5%). Ziehl-Neelsen staining was positive in 50.6% of the cases. Löwenstein-Jensen cultures became positive, on average, after 4.6 +/- 1.4 weeks. The proportion of extrapulmonary tuberculosis among the total number of tuberculosis cases has steadily increased trend over the period of observation.
