Abstract

Once urogenital tuberculosis was one of the most representative diseases in urology, but recently it has become much rarer. A statistical study of urogenital tuberculosis was made on urological outpatients of the eleven representative hospitals in the Niigata Prefecture, Japan. During the 10-yearperiod (1961-1970) the incidence of tuberculosis became much lower. At the beginning of this period, the incidence in out-patients was more than 1%, but at the end it was less than 0.5%. Average age of patients tended to be elder. Less frequent occurrence of urogenital tuberculosis and less marked symptoms and signs due to antibiotic therapy are presenting a different clinical problem in diagnosis and treatment of urogenital tuberculosis.
