Abstract

North-western Russia is characterized by poor extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPT) epidemiological trends. There is an increase in the incidence of EPT mainly in childhood and youth. Due to incomplete and untimely detection of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, the decreased level of recorded parameters and its severe clinical pattern are observed in most areas.
