Abstract:
A 63-year-old man was admitted to our hospital complaining of painful urination. Urinalysis demonstrated pyuria and microscopic hematuria. Cystoscopy revealed the bladder tumor and the reddish mucosa. Transurethral biopsy was performed and the pathological examination showed transitional cell carcinoma in the bladder tumor and epithelioid granuloma in the reddish mucosa. Acid-fast bacilli smeas of urine sample and urine culture of Mycobacterium tuberculosis were positive. Therefore the treatment of urinary tuberculosis was started and the patient received intra-arterial chemotherapy combined with radiation. After the therapy, radical cystectomy and bilateral cutaneous ureterostomies were performed. Pathological study revealed transitional cell carcinoma and epithelioid granuloma in the removed bladder. The reports of urinary epithelial carcinoma with urinary tract tuberculosis were rare and, including our case, the 10 cases in Japanese literature are reviewed.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis I
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis II
Here is a detailed explanation of its pathophysiology:
Transmission: The process begins when a person inhales droplet nuclei containing M. tuberculosis. These are typically released into the air when an individual with pulmonary or...
