Özet

Objective:Tuberculosis (TB) is an important public health problem both in developing and developed countries due to migration with increasing incidence despite control strategies. Various clinical manifestations of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) cause delay in diagnosis and treatment. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the clinical and laboratory findings of extrapulmonary tuberculosis in childhood.
