title: [A diagnosis for active urinary tract tuberculosis].
abstract: The paper details the procedure of a modified tuberculin challenge test, by keeping in mind the new parameters--the microcirculation of the urinary tract mucosa, which is recorded by Doppler laser flowmetry. The efficiency of the procedure was evaluated in 55 patients, including 25 patients diagnosed as having urinary tract tuberculosis and 30 with nonspecific infections. The urethral microcirculatory parameters studied during the tuberculin challenge confirmed the changes available in all the patients with urinary tract tuberculosis while they were absent in patients with nonspecific pathology. The proposed procedure may objectively record a diagnostic parameter. which improves the quality of diagnosis.
