Overview

Tuberculosis is one of the most common infection diseases. More than a half of the world's population is infected by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

For the succesfull treatment of urogenitary tuberculosis the early diagnosis and promt initiation of the effective antituberculotis therapy is crucial. Usually a long time passes between the first symtoms and the initiation of the therapy. Setting of the diagnosis represents the biggest problem.

KEY WORDS:
tuberculosis, tuberculosis of urogenitary tract, ethiopatogenesis, diagnostics, therapy
