Urethral tuberculosis is rare, affecting one female with a caruncle and one male with strictures, fistulae, and abscesses. These cases highlight the varied presentations of this uncommon genitourinary infection.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Microbiology

Background:

  • Tuberculosis (TB) is a significant global health issue, primarily affecting the lungs but capable of impacting any organ system.
  • Genitourinary tuberculosis (GUTB) is a common extrapulmonary manifestation, with renal and bladder involvement being most frequent.
  • Isolated tuberculous affection of the urethra remains exceptionally rare in clinical practice.

Observation:

  • Case 1: A young married female presented with isolated urethral tuberculosis manifesting as a urethral caruncle.
  • Case 2: A young male exhibited urethral stricture complicated by fistulae and abscess, alongside co-existing renal tuberculosis.

Findings:

  • The study reports two distinct cases of urethral tuberculosis, demonstrating varied clinical presentations.

Related Experiment Videos

  • One case involved isolated urethral involvement in a female, presenting as a urethral caruncle.
  • The second case presented with complex urethral stricture, fistulae, and abscess, associated with renal tuberculosis.

    • Implications:

    • These cases underscore the importance of considering urethral tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of unexplained urethral symptoms, even in the absence of typical pulmonary TB.
    • Early diagnosis and appropriate anti-tuberculous therapy are crucial for managing urethral tuberculosis and preventing complications.
    • Further research and case reporting are needed to better understand the epidemiology and clinical spectrum of this rare condition.
