The problem is compounded by the fact that roughly10% of the infected people are symptomatic. Although TB affects the lungs in 80%of cases, however, in the remaining 20% the disease may affect other organs severely if lately diagnosed or left untreated.

This chapter provides a consolidated gist ofthe different types of TB viz. Meningitis TB, Occular TB, Lymph node TB, SpinalTB, Cutaneous TB, Hepatic TB, Renal TB, Abdominal TB and Genital TB at common platform.
