Genitourinary tuberculosis in patients under twenty-five years of age.
There were 29 patients under the age of twenty-five years in a series of 230 patients with genitourinary tuberculosis. Younger patients were less likely to have had previous tuberculosis but more likely to have a family history of tuberculosis. Abdominal or loin pain was a more common presenting feature in those under twenty five, and they were less likely to require surgery than older patients.
