[Urogenital tuberculosis in 1974].
Urogenital tuberculosis, although often forgotten, remains a common and serious disease. Over a period of 10 years (1963 to 1973) 52 patients were seen and treated on our unit. There were 4 deaths all due to intercurrent disease, and 24 patients, i.e. half the survivors list one kidney owing to the tuberculosis. These crude figures, when one considers that they were mostly middle-aged adults, give an idea of the serious nature of urogenital tuberculosis in 1974.
