TLDR
Although chemotherapy is the mainstay of treatment, surgery in the form of ablation or reconstruction may be unavoidable and both radical and reconstructive surgery should be carried out in the first 2 months of intensive chemotherapy.About:

Guidelines on Urological Infections
Magnus Grabe,Riccardo Bartoletti,T. Tony Cai,Béla Köves,Peter Tenke,Florian M.E. Wagenlehner,Björn Wullt +6 more
TL;DR: It is essential to limit the use of antibiotics in general and fluoroquinolones and cephalosporins in particular, especially in uncomplicated infections and asymptomatic bacteriuria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnosis and Treatment of Extrapulmonary Tuberculosis
TL;DR: Although the disease usually responds to standard anti-TB drug therapy, the ideal regimen and duration of treatment have not yet been established and a paradoxical response frequently occurs during anti- TB therapy.

Advances in the diagnosis of tuberculosis.
Christoph Lange,Toru Mori +1 more
TL;DR: Novel methods allow for a better identification of latently infected individuals who are at risk of developing active tuberculosis, they also offer the possibility for a rapid diagnosis of active tuberculosis in patients with negative sputum smears and enable prompt identification of drug‐resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis directly from respiratory specimen with a high accuracy.

Etiology and management of genitourinary tuberculosis
Aula Abbara,Robert N. Davidson +1 more
TL;DR: Genitourinary tuberculosis (GUTB) is the second most common form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, with more than 90% of cases occurring in developing countries and increasing rates of drug-resistant cases and co-infection with HIV.

Journal ArticleDOI
Genitourinary tuberculosis: review of 102 cases.
TL;DR: The evidence from the series is that infectivity of genitourinary tuberculosis is low and there was only 1 initial treatment failure, in a 47-year old man with active pulmonary and renal tuberculosis caused by an isoniazid-resistant organism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polymerase chain reaction in clinically suspected genitourinary tuberculosis : comparison with intravenous urography, bladder biopsy, and urine acid fast bacilli culture
TL;DR: It is evident from this series that PCR provides a much faster diagnosis of urinary MTb and is a rapid, sensitive, and specific diagnostic method and avoids a delay in starting treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mycobacterial infection in a series of 1261 renal transplant recipients
TL;DR: Mycobacterial infection, mainly by M. tuberculosis, has an important impact on kidney transplant recipients, particularly during the first year after surgery, with a risk of death or permanent damage in renal function, therefore, early diagnosis is mandatory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid diagnosis of genitourinary tuberculosis by polymerase chain reaction and non-radioactive dna hybridization
TL;DR: The high sensitivity and specificity in addition to the potential for rapid detection of mycobacteria, makes this test a useful tool in the clinical management of myCobacterial infection in urine.
