title: [Urogenital tuberculosis].
abstract: Urogenital tuberculosis has unspecific clinical symptomatology. This is often a result of the complications of the disease. Clinical symptoms, X-ray examinations, urinary microscopy, cultures and cytological and histological examinations may reveal the diagnosis. Initial treatment is medical therapy, but surgery will often be a necessary supplement. Follow-up during the treatment period is important to avoid unnecessary complications. With appropriate treatment and follow-up, the prognosis will be good.
