MUDr. Marek Schmidt
Urologická klinika 2. LF UK a FN Motol, Praha

Tuberculosis is infectious disease with dramatic decrease of incidence in second half of 20th century in western countries. Increasing migration, immunosupressive therapy, pandemia of AIDS and worldwide uncontrolled use of antituberculotics contains threat of importation to countries, where tubreculosis is rare at present. Epidemiological data still doesnt reflect increased number of patients with tubercusolosis but high rate of imported cases in foreigners should leads urologists to give thought to specific disease in urological diagnostics. Article includes basic overview of pathogenesis of urogenital tuberculosis, current diagnosticals and new trends in conservative treatment and surgery.

Keywords: Key words: urogenital tuberculosis, specific infection, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, pathogenesis, diagnostics, antituberculotics.
