RESULTS OF TREATMENT IN A LARGE SERIES OF CASES OF GENITO‐URINARY TUBERCULOSIS AND THE CHANGING PATTERN OF THE DISEASE ¹

Abstract

SUMMARY The pattern of genito‐urinary tuberculosis has not changed in recent years. The standard chemotherapeutic treatment remains as triple therapy, using streptomycin, soniazid and PAS, but Rifampicin may open up a new era in the treatment of genito‐urinary tuberculosis. Renal tuberculosis is rarely a factor in renal hypertension. Reconstructive surgery of bladder and ureter is now a standard part of the treatment of genito‐urinary tuberculosis.
