Abstract
Background: Extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) accounts for 45-70% of TB notifications within England [1,2]. The proportion of people with EPTB born outside of the UK is much greater than that of pulmonary TB. We aim to understand the burden of EPTB in East London, an area with a large migrant population.
