LETTER TO THE EDITOR: A Clinical Study on Extra-pulmonary Tuberculosis

MM Karim et al recently reported a clinical study on extra-pulmonary tuberculosis (J BCPS Vol. 24, No. 1, January 2006 issue) to identify the various presentations of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis, is an impressive display of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis in our country although the authors have not described a few important presentations like tuberculous meningitis, other CNS tuberculosis; tuberculous pericarditis; and genito-urinary tuberculosis which are not uncommon. From our own experience we have treated 13 cases of CNS tuberculosis in one medical unit of Dhaka Medical College Hospital in 2005.
