Urinary lithiasis associated with urinary tuberculosis

In a series of 2,500 patients with urinary tuberculosis, 74 cases evidenced an associated lithiasis (2.96%). Intensifying and amplifying the noxious effects, the association of these affections is misleading. Referring to the published data and their own experience, the authors therefore draw attention to this association which although relatively rare, is important because of the diagnostic problems it involves.
