ABSTRACT

Tuberculosis is a pandemic, transmissible, preventable and curable disease that is experiencing a resurgence secondary to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV/AIDS) and therefore needs to be detected and treated adequately.
Objective: To report three cases of atypical genitourinary tuberculosis.
Results: Three cases of genitourinary tuberculosis are reported: one case of epididymal tuberculosis that clinically presented as treatment-refractory scrotal fistula and two cases in which just hematuria was manifested. In all three cases laboratory work-up was negative and only polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was positive for tuberculosis.
