“…In most articles (74.4%) the diagnosis was established only by positive urine culture, but in seven articles (17.9%) positive direct smears were also used and in three articles (7.7%) published in 2000, 2006 and 2007, the patients were also diagnosed through nucleic acid amplification tests. In one of these articles, all but one of 12 patients were diagnosed using the nucleic acid amplification tests, suggesting that this technique could become the urogenital tuberculosis diagnosis method of choice 44 . A total of 21.9% of the patients were diagnosed by histopathology and in 10.4% the patients' diagnosis was presumptive and based on suggestive clinical, laboratory, and radiological data, without microbiological or histological confirmation.…”

Epidemiology of urogenital tuberculosis worldwide

Objectives:To characterize the epidemiology of urogenital tuberculosis worldwide and to compare the features of patients from developing countries to those from developed countries. Methods: A comprehensive search of articles published up to April 2008 using a combination of the terms 'tuberculosis', 'genitourinary', 'renal' and 'urogenital' was performed. Results: Urogenital tuberculosis affects more men than women (2:1), with a mean age of 40.7 years (range 5-90). In 26.9% of cases there is a non-functioning unilateral kidney and in 7.4%, renal failure. Patients from developing countries are more likely to have a delayed diagnosis with a higher frequency of renal failure, unilateral non-functioning kidney, ablative surgery and contracted bladder. Conclusions: Urogenital tuberculosis is a worldwide disease with more destructive behavior in developing countries where urgent strategies for early detection are particularly warranted.

Incidence, etiopathogenesis and pathological aspects of genitourinary tuberculosis in India: A journey revisited

2008

Background:Tuberculosis is one of the major health problems in India. Genitourinary tuberculosis comprises 20% of all extrapulmonary tuberculosis, and is the most common extrapulmonary system to be affected by this disease. The recent surge in the incidence of HIV-infected patients in India has further ignited the fury. Though the members of the Mycobacterium species are well identified, the incidence could not be controlled due to its complex etiopathogenesis and genetic background.Pathological Spectrum:The spectrum of pathological changes of genitourinary tuberculosis is wide, which varies from normal morphology to markedly scarred kidney, bladder, and epididymis with autocystectomy. A thorough knowledge is required to prevent the end-stage complications. The sequel can be detrimental for the patient's physical, behavioral, psychological, and financial health.Diagnostic Dilemmas:Though culture and polymerase chain reaction are available for the detection of tuberculosis, the sensitivity and specificity varies widely and one should be aware.Conclusions:A thorough knowledge of epidemiology, immunopathogenesis, spectrum of the disease and the possible sequels, will help better and effective management of the disease.
