Article Synopsis
- Urinary tuberculosis is rare but difficult to diagnose due to the lack of specific symptoms, making it often overlooked in recent years.
- A study over the past 5 years identified 12 patients with urinary tuberculosis, with common symptoms including frequent urination and blood in urine, diagnosed through advanced testing methods.
- Most patients were treated with a combination of medications and showed positive treatment results, highlighting the need for awareness and suspicion of this condition in patients with persistent urinary issues without clear causes.
