Of all the manifestations of tuberculosis, pulmonary tuberculosis gets the maximum attention. So much so that often what pertains to pulmonary tuberculosis only is mentioned as if it applies in general to tuberculosis as a whole which is not always and entirely correct. There is, however, justification for the importance given to pulmonary disease since it is the most frequent of all manifestations and is practically the only manifestation which is infectious. Even though non-pulmonary tuberculosis is non-infectious, it does lead to con-siderable suffering and some disability and certainly merits more attention than that given to it hitherto. There is much.
