Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Urology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Nephrology

Background:

  • Genitourinary tuberculosis (TB) is uncommon in prepubescent individuals.
  • Diagnosis can be challenging, potentially leading to delayed treatment and long-term complications.

Observation:

  • Two pediatric cases of genitourinary TB are presented.
  • One case involved chronic cystitis with renal and ureteral involvement.
  • The second case presented with renal and hepatic abscesses.

Findings:

  • Microbiological confirmation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis was achieved in one case.
  • Histopathological examination revealed caseous lesions and granulomas.
  • Treatment response varied, with one case requiring nephrectomy and incomplete response to therapy.

Implications:

  • Delayed diagnosis of genitourinary TB in children can lead to significant morbidity.
  • Prompt and accurate diagnosis is essential for effective management.
  • Further research into optimal diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for pediatric genitourinary TB is warranted.
