[Tuberculosis of the urinary bladder: diagnosis and treatment]
Abstract:
Tuberculosis of the urinary bladder (UB) is registered in 10-45.6% patients with urogenital tuberculosis. It is a severe incapacitating complication of kidney tuberculosis which significantly lowers quality of life. The results of the standard therapy of 76 patients with tuberculous cystitis are analysed. UB tuberculosis is diagnosed more often in women, outcomes of their treatment are worse. Twenty six patients with UB tuberculosis at the stage of overactive bladder received polychemotherapy and adjuvant trospium. After 3 months urination frequency decreased 4.3 times, on the average; UB volume increased 4.7 times, on the average. Complications were not registered.
