Abstract:
Development of tuberculosis is closely linked to poor socioeconomic condition, poor immune functioning and mental health including depression and anxiety. Elderly population becomes an important target group for the disease and deserves special attention. Unique problem with genito urinary tuberculosis (GUTB) in elderly population is the diagnosis. One of the earliest symptoms of GUTB is increased urinary frequency which a large majority in elderly population may already have, owing to their enlarged prostates or an overactive bladder/detrusor over activity mediated centrally or peripherally, which are not uncommon in this group. When left undiagnosed and thereby untreated, GUTB usually leads to irreversible tissue damage and consequences range from abscesses, small capacity urinary bladder to renal failure.
