urinary tract tuberculosis

Genitourinary tuberculosis is the second most common site of infection in humans by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, second only to pulmonary tuberculosis.
It can most easily be divided anatomically into:
- renal tuberculosis (renal parenchyma, calyces and renal pelvis)
- bladder and ureteric tuberculosis
- prostatic tuberculosis
- scrotal tuberculosis (testes, epididymis, seminal vesicles, ductus deferens)
- tuberculous pelvic inflammatory disease (female)
For a general discussion of the disease, refer to the article on tuberculosis.
