♦ GUTB( Genito-urinary Tuberculosis (TB) ) is much more destructive which affects males and females both but in males, susceptibility towards disease is more. Now-a-days infertility is the major concern in both males and females which arises due to the infection of bacilli in genital organs. Some frequent symptoms like dysuria, pyuria, abdominal pain, hematuria may be observed and fever, weight loss, anorexia are less common.

♦ GUTB can be diagnosed on the basis of various culture studies and also through the radiological imaging by ultra sound, pelvic MRI etc.

♦ PCR( Polymerase Chain Reaction) is also best method for the diagnosis of the bacilli of MTB in urine and the ideal result can be obtained within 24-48 hours.

♦ Surgery is also preferred if kidney or epididymis is infected with the bacilli.
