    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric infectious diseases
    • Urology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Tuberculosis (TB) is a significant global health concern.
    • Urogenital tuberculosis (UTB) is a less common but serious manifestation of TB.
    • Pediatric UTB requires specific diagnostic considerations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the clinical and radiological features of urogenital tuberculosis in children.
    • To highlight the importance of considering UTB in pediatric patients with pulmonary TB.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 16 pediatric cases with confirmed urogenital tuberculosis.
    • Analysis of clinical presentations and radiological findings.
    • Correlation with history of pulmonary tuberculosis and contact status.

    Main Results:

    • Urogenital tuberculosis was identified in 16 children.
    • Clinical and radiological features were analyzed.
    • A significant association was noted between pulmonary TB and UTB.

    Conclusions:

    • Urogenital tuberculosis should be suspected in children with any evidence of past or active pulmonary tuberculosis.
    • Primary contacts of TB patients are also at risk for UTB.
    • Prompt recognition and investigation are vital for managing pediatric urogenital tuberculosis.
