Genitourinary tuberculosis, including tuberculous epididymo-orchitis, requires prompt management. Increased awareness is crucial due to the rising incidence of this serious condition.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Microbiology

Background:

  • Tuberculosis (TB) can affect the genitourinary (GU) system.
  • GU TB may present as the only manifestation of the disease.
  • Tuberculous epididymo-orchitis is a specific form of GU TB.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a case of tuberculous epididymo-orchitis.
  • To emphasize the need for prompt management of GU TB.
  • To increase awareness of GU TB, especially in at-risk populations.

Main Methods:

  • Case report presentation.
  • Literature review on genitourinary tuberculosis.
  • Analysis of clinical experience with GU TB.

Main Results:
