Abstract

The clinico statistical observation were made on genitourinary tuberculosis in our clinic for periods from 1968 to 1978. The incidence of genitourinary tuberculosis is decreasing in recent years. There were 73 males and 52 females. The age distribution revealed that the highest incidence moved to the elder generation. Tuberculous bacilli in the urine were detected in 52.6% by culture. Thirty-two cases were treated by chemotherapy only and 62 cases were treated by surgery and chemotherapy. The roentgenographic findings were classified on Lattimer's classification. Minor calyceal changes tended to heal, while advanced changes were mostly unchanged. Among 16 cases of bilateral renal tuberculosis, 6 cases developed chronic renal insufficiency. Five died during the period; 3 from chronic renal failure and 2 from malignancy.
