∗ The difference in proportion of TB that is extrapulmonary between each region and each other region is significant at p < 0.001, p values calculated using χ2 (e.g. Eastern versus Northern Europe χ2 = 5.4 × 104, p < 0.001).

Extrapulmonary TB is defined as any case of TB involving organs or anatomical sites other than the lungs, with or without co-existent lung disease.
