Purpose:

  • To review clinical, imaging, and therapeutic aspects of urogenital tuberculosis.
  • To highlight diagnostic difficulties and treatment strategies.

Summary:

  • A 10-year review of 57 patients (32 male, 25 female) with urogenital tuberculosis.
  • Irritative symptoms were most common (47.3%); renal failure occurred in 14%.
  • Urography revealed abnormalities in 80%, with non-functioning kidneys in 40.3%. Diagnosis relied on bacteriology (5 cases) and histology (52 cases). Treatment involved chemotherapy combined with surgery (75%) or endourology (26.3%).
