title: [Urogenital tuberculosis in African (author's transl)].
abstract: A report of nine recent cases of urogenital tuberculosis in Africans with a review of literature. This possible but rare complication must be discovered, although it is a difficult process mainly in rural areas, since tuberculosis may bring about severe urogenital tract damage. Schistosomiasis and unspecific epidimymitis may hide it. Acido-alcoolo-resistant bacillus, detected in urin, must be cultivated on Loewenstein medium to remove contaminants and to confirm tuberculous pathogenesis.
