    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Genitourinary tuberculosis (GUTB) management has evolved.
    • Short-course chemotherapy regimens have been utilized since 1970.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of short-course chemotherapy for GUTB.
    • To assess treatment response, surgical impact, hypertension's role, and relapse rates.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 87 patients with GUTB.
    • Studied outcomes of short-course chemotherapy regimens.
    • Evaluated chemotherapy response, surgical intervention, and relapse data.

    Main Results:

    • All 87 patients responded to short-course chemotherapy.
    • Intensive chemotherapy for 6 months proved effective.
    • Relapse rates and the impact of hypertension were analyzed.

    Conclusions:

    • Short-course chemotherapy is highly effective for GUTB.
    • A 6-month intensive treatment is adequate for all cases.
    • This approach minimizes the need for surgical intervention.
