We studied pulmonary and extra-pulnionaiy and pleural tuberculosis tuberculosis (TB)(EPPT) in HIV negative patients in a tertiary hospital. We retrospectively studied al¡ the in patients diagnosed EPPT over the last three years. Clinical data was obtained from the medical records. Forty four patients were diagnosed with TB. 15.9% (n=7) had extrapleural  involvement. Mean age of patients was 44 years oid ( 18 to 74) and 5 patients were  Argentinian, 1was Peruvian and 1 Bolivian. Three patients had pulmonary manifestations  too. The most frequent location was in ganglions (3 cases). The clínica] symptoms were  non-speciflc. The main symptoms and signs were related to the involved arca.
