Urinary tract tuberculosis. A case presentation and review of the literature

Abstract

With the current upspring in the incidence of tuberculosis world wide, a corresponding rise in genitourinary tuberculosis should be anticipated. It is therefore imperative for the Urologist and general surgeons with interest in urology to be well abreast of the clinical course of this deadly condition. It should be stressed that all cases of haematuria should have their early morning urinary sediment stained for acid fast bacilli (AFB).
