Objective: To identify the factors associated with the presentation of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) in AIDS diagnosis and to analyse its temporal trend.Design: Analysis of AIDS surveillance data.Methods: The study was based on AIDS cases diagnosed in Spain between 1988 and 1993, and reported up to September 1994. The proportion of patients presenting with EPTB at AIDS diagnosis was analysed by sociodemographic characteristics and year of diagnosis.Results: Of the 22 445 AIDS cases diagnosed in Spain from 1988 to 1993, 6526 patients (29.1%; 95% confidence interval, 28.5-29.7) presented with EPTB at diagnosis, making it the most frequent AIDS-defining disease. The highest proportions of EPTB reported at AIDS diagnosis were observed for injecting drug users (IDU; 35.4%) and the heterosexual transmission category (23.5%). The proportion of EPTB was lower in women [relative risk (RR), 0.85; P
