Tuberculosis of the Urogenital Tract in Adults in a Tertiary Referral Center

Abstract: The genitourinary system is the main location of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. In Poland, it occupies the third place after tuberculosis of the pleura and lymph nodes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and characteristics of tuberculosis in the urogenital tract in adult patients in a tertiary referral center in the years 2007-2015. The retrospective study included 87 patients, 42 women and 45 men. The average age was 62 ± 15 years. Changes in the urinary tract were diagnosed in 91% of women a… Show more

“…In Poland, it occupied the third place after pleural and lymph node TB. 13 As for Europe and North America, it ranked fourth, representing 1.3% to 14.3% of all EPTB cases. 14 Actually, UGTB results from hematogenous spread of Mycobacterium, which usually occurs secondary to TB in other sites, mostly the lungs.…”

“…19 These results were in contrast with those noted in Poland, where a ratio of 4.12 urban to rural areas was noted. 13 Therefore, implementing a preventive strategy and strengthening TB care in both rural and urban areas are highly recommended in the local area.…”

“…(17) El diagnóstico diferencial de la tuberculosis urogenital puede ser difícil y, a menudo, requiere métodos invasivos, ya que los signos clínicos y los resultados de pruebas adicionales sugieren otras enfermedades, especialmente neoplasias, infecciones, urolitiasis, etcétera. (16) La tuberculosis ureteral y vesical son secundarias a la infección descendente a través del sistema colector urinario. La estenosis ureteral es la principal causa de disfunción renal en la tuberculosis, y ocurre en hasta el 93.7%…”

“…(1)(2)(3)(4)(5) Existe predominio en el sexo femenino (91%) con relación al masculino (61%) con mayor prevalencia entre la cuarta y quinta década de la vida. (5,6) En relación con los órganos genitourinarios, la afectación renal es la más común (80%), seguido del epidídimo (22%-55%) y el compromiso prostático (22%-49%) causado por diseminación hematógena.…”

“…(1) En concomitancia a la tuberculosis genitourinaria, los pacientes presentan hipertensión arterial (55%), diabetes mellitus (21%), enfermedad coronaria (25%), insuficiencia cardiaca (13%), enfermedad renal crónica (16%) y alteraciones tiroideas (13%). (6) El compromiso genitourinario se genera posterior a un intervalo de 6 meses desde la primoinfección, inicialmente se genera cicatrización espontánea a nivel pulmonar continuando con una fase latente con probabilidad de hasta 5% de reactivación en los próximos 5 años asociado a alteraciones metabólicas como desnutrición, diabetes mellitus, uso de esteroides e inmunosupresores o inmunodeficiencia, (5) en algunos casos este periodo de latencia es superior a 20 años, explicando la baja incidencia de tuberculosis renal en la población pediátrica. (3) Los factores predisponentes para el desarrollo de esta patología son la migración, (1,2) antecedente de tuberculosis, contacto con un paciente con tuberculosis, viajes a regiones endémicas, inmunodeficiencias, tratamientos deficientes permitiendo el crecimiento de bacilos multirresistentes.…”
