ABSTRACT

Tuberculosis is a disease which has a high incidence worldwide. However, involvement of the urogenital system is not so common, occurring in only 1.2% of cases. A clinical case of a 61-year-old patient who was admitted into our hospital with severe kidney and bladder tuberculosis is presented. This case illustrates both the significant damage genitourinary tuberculosis can cause and the urologist’s role in the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to thedisease.
