Received 11 November 2025; revised on 20 December 2025; accepted on 22 December 2025

Background: Tuberculosis is a highly contagious disease that is prevalent in underdeveloped countries. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), this disease is defined by its anatomical location.

Methodology: A narrative review was conducted using various databases from 2017 to 2021; the search and selection of articles was carried out in indexed journals in English and Spanish. The following keywords were used: tuberculosis, extrapulmonary, characteristics, epidemiological.

Results: The main epidemiological characteristics aim to quantify the evolution of extrapulmonary tuberculosis within a certain time frame in a specific geographical area or population.

Conclusion: Patients diagnosed with extrapulmonary tuberculosis may present different clinical manifestations depending on where the tuberculosis has spread, but this does not differ from the global epidemiological context.
