Genitourinary Tuberculosis in the USA: An Academic Center Experience and Literature Review

چکیده
Results: Eight patients had a confirmed diagnosis of GUTB in our center since 2008, including three cases related to intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) instillations. In the GUTB group, there were two males and three females, aging from 54 to 72 years (mean 62 ± 7.8 years). Symptoms started 3-14 years prior to diagnosis. Diagnosis was confirmed with positive urine culture in three, urine polymerase chain reaction testing in one, and surgical pathology in one patient. In disseminated BCG infection cases, difficult catheter insertion prior to development of disseminated TB was the highlight of history in two patients. Urine cultures were negative in all three patients.
