    Abstract
    This article describes the clinical, epidemiologic, laboratory, and treatment characteristics of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) and extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) in Eastern North Carolina, a primarily rural area. The database was obtained for 1988-1992 from the University Medical Center of Eastern North Carolina-Pitt County and East Carolina University School of Medicine (the tertiary care referral center for this region). One hundred thirty-eight culturepositive patients were enrolled in the study; 56% were PTB and 44% were EPTB. African- American males constituted 59% of the population. Sixty-nine percent of the patient base were uninsured. There was a bimodal age distribution of <40 and >60 years of age. Factors associated with PTB (reported as odds ratios) were white males (2.5), diabetes mellitus (5.4), and cancer (5.1). Factors associated with EPTB (reported as odds ratios) were African- American females, positive human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) serology (8.7), low hematocrit (32.6), and elevated alkaline phosphatase (199). This study emphasizes that in the latest resurgence of tuberculosis, impoverished rural areas, which have been ignored in earlier and present control efforts, are important reservoirs of disease.
