genitourinary 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.
