From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Urogenital tuberculosis is a form of tuberculosis that affects the urogenital system.
Symptoms[edit]
However, the infection arises insidiously, being potentially asymptomatic for a long period of time.[1]
Other signs[edit]
Complications[edit]
Urogenital tuberculosis may cause strictures of the ureter, which, however, may heal when infection is treated.
Pathogenesis[edit]
The infection may affect the kidneys, ureter and bladder and may cause significant damage to each.
Epidemiology[edit]
It usually strikes young adults with tuberculosis in other places of the body as well. It is common in Asia, but less common in sub-Saharan Africa.[1]
