ABSTRACT
Tuberculosis is an infectious,
contagious disease, with a
high incidence globally. It is
estimated that one third of the
world’s population is infected
and it is the most common
opportunistic infection in AIDS
patients. Renal tuberculosis is
one of the most common sites of
extra-pulmonary tuberculosis,
and the most common form of
genitourinary TB. The clinical
manifestations are nonspecific
but resemble bacterial cystitis,
so the best way to diagnose this is
by clinical suspicion, which rises
from a resistance to ordinary
antibiotic treatment and the
presence of sterile pyuria in
repeated urine samples. Its early
diagnosis is important, since in
some cases it can progress to
kidney failure, nephrectomy
and even death.
