On early diagnostics of tuberculosis of the prostate

Abstract

The paper describes two cases of the tuberculosis-induced lesions in the prostate in patients aged 27 and 55 years. The disease was diagnosed after three and 15 years of unsuccessful treatment of mistakenly diagnosed non-infectious diseases of the prostate. The authors highlight the necessity to exclude tuberculosis in patients with chronic urological diseases and implementation of orders concerning detection of patients suffering from tuberculosis developed by the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation and phtisiatric service of the Primorsky Krai.
