Popis: Tuberculosis has become an infrequent disease in Western society, hence has tuberculosis of the bladder. However, when tuberculosis was prevalent, urogenital tuberculosis and tuberculosis of the bladder could be the consequence if untreated, and were responsible for severe bladder dysfunction. Before antibiotic treatment became available, chronic bladder tuberculosis caused irreversible damage and often necessitated bladder reconstruction or even cystectomy. The specific antibiotic treatment of tuberculosis eradicated bladder dysfunction caused by tuberculosis. We aim to review the history of urogenital tuberculosis and the consequent dysfunction of the bladder based on existing literature.
