Abstract:
To determine current epidemiology and treatment patterns of urogenital tuberculosis in J apan. Methods A questionnaire was sent to the urological departments of 1203 J apanese hospitals. Clinical data was reviewed retrospectively; no time range was specified. Results Of the 1203 hospitals, 399 returned questionnaires with information about 355 urogenital tuberculosis patients. Of the 399, 153 institutions reported at least one patient, and 201 patients were identified between 2000 and 2007. Infections were located in the kidneys ( n = 242), ureter ( n = 96), bladder ( n = 100), epididymis or testes ( n = 81) and prostate ( n = 9). Conclusions Urogenital tuberculosis is rare in J apan, but patients do exist, and we should not ignore them.
