Tuberculosis - view of modern urology

MUDr. Petr Nencka
Urologické oddělení, Fakultní Thomayerova nemocnice Praha

Tuberculosis, a disease that is the cause of unaccountable human suffering and economic loss, paradoxically is to be considered one of

the most researched human affection. Relative decrease of incidence of tuberculosis in last decades of 20th century resulted in decrease

of interest both in scientific and non professional quarters. Tuberculosis still remains as a serious medical problem in the third world and

with the increase of migration from these localities becomes a hot theme also in our settings. Genitourinary tuberculosis is the most

common form of extra pulmonary tuberculosis which has to be considered in clinical praxis and using on time diagnostics and correct

treatment to prevent or reduce the risk of irreversible alteration of genitourinary tract.

Keywords: tuberculosis, genitourinary, diagnostics, treatment.
