Tuberculosis of organs other than the lungs: e.g., pleura, lymph nodes, abdomen, genito-urinary tract, skin, joints and bones, meninges, etc. Diagnosis should be based on one culture-positive specimen, or histological or strong clinical evidence consistent with active extra-pulmonary tuberculosis, followed by a decision by a clinician to treat with a full course of anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy. (A patient diagnosed with both pulmonary and extra-pulmonary tuberculosis should be classified as a case of pulmonary tuberculosis.)

Patient with tuberculosis of organs other than the lungs (e.g. pleura, lymph nodes, abdomen, genitourinary tract, skin, joints and bones, meninges). Diagnosis should be based on one culture-positive specimen, or histological or strong clinical evidence consistent with active extrapulmonary disease, followed by a decision by a clinician to treat with a full course of antituberculosis chemotherapy. A patient in whom both pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis has been diagnosed should be classified as a pulmonary case

TB affecting organs other than the lungs, for example, lymph nodes, bones and joints, genitourinary tract, meninges, pleura or intestines

Tuberculosis of organs other than the lungs, e.g. pleura, lymph nodes, abdomen, genitourinary tract, skin, joints and bones, meninges. Tuberculous intrathoracic lymphadenopathy (mediastinal and/ or hilar) or tuberculous pleural effusion, without radiographic abnormalities in the lungs, therefore constitutes a case of extrapulmonary TB. The definition of an extrapulmonary case with several sites affected depends on the site representing the most severe form of disease

Tuberculosis of organs other than the lungs,including TB of the pleura, lymph nodes, abdomen, genitourinary tract, pericardium, skin, joints and bones, and meninges

Disease in any part of the body other than the lungs (e.g., the kidneys, spine, or lymph nodes.) The presence of extrapulmonary disease does not exclude pulmonary TB disease

Any confirmed or probable TB case involving organs other than the lungs, pleura, or intrathoracic lymph nodes

(Diagnosis of TB in HIV-prevalent and resource-constrained settings) The criteria for diagnosis of extrapulmonary TB are: One specimen from an extrapulmonary site culture-positive for Mycobacterium tuberculosis or smear-positive for AFB or Histological or strong clinical evidence consistent with active extrapulmonary TB and a decision by a clinician to treat with a full course of anti-TB chemotherapy. These criteria are used whether or not the patient has laboratory confirmation of HIV as well as whether or not the patient presents strong clinical evidence of HIV

All other individuals, including those with tuberculous intrathoracic lymphadenopathy (mediastinal and/or hilar) or tuberculous pleural effusion (the specific site should be recorded)

Tuberculosis affecting organs other than the lungs, most frequently the pleura, lymph nodes, spine and other bones and joints, the genitourinary tract, the nervous system and abdomen. Tuberculosis may affect any organ and may even become disseminated. This type of tuberculosis is usually not infectious

Patient with tuberculosis affecting organs other than the lungs. diagnosis should be based on one culture-positive specimen, or histological or strong clinical evidence consistent with active extrapulmonary tuberculosis, followed by a decision by a clinician to treat with a full course of anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy

(Diagnosis of TB in HIV-prevalent and resource-constrained settings) One specimen from an extrapulmonary site culture-positive for Mycobacterium tuberculosis or smear-positive for AFB; or histological or strong clinical evidence consistent with active extrapulmonary tuberculosis and Laboratory confirmation of HIV infection; or strong clinical evidence of HIV infection; and a decision by a clinician to treat with a full course of antituberculosis chemotherapy

Case of TB involving organs other than the lungs, e.g. pleura, lymph nodes, abdomen, genitourinary tract, skin, joints and bones, meninges. Diagnosis should be based on at least one specimen with confirmed M. tuberculosis or histological or strong clinical evidence consistent with active EPTB, followed by a decision by a clinician to treat with a full course of tuberculosis chemotherapy

Tuberculosis of organs other than the lungs, e.g. pleura, lymph nodes, abdomen, genitourinary tract, skin, joints and bones, meninges. Diagnosis should be based on one culture-positive specimen, or histological or strong clinical evidence consistent with active EPTB, followed by a decision by a clinician to treat with a full course of tuberculosis chemotherapy. The case definition of an extrapulmonary TB case with several sites affected depends on the site representing the most severe form of disease

Any bacteriologically confirmed or clinically diagnosed case of TB involving organs other than the lungs, e.g. pleura, lymph nodes, abdomen, genitourinary tract, skin, joints and bones, meninges

refers to any bacteriologically confirmed or clinically diagnosed case of TB involving organs other than the lungs (e.g. pleura, lymph nodes, abdomen, genitourinary tract, skin, joints and bones, meninges).
