BACKGROUND Genitourinary tuberculosis is the third most common form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Diagnosis is difficult because of unspecific clinical manifestations and low accuracy of conventional tests. Unfortunately, the delayed diagnosis impacts the urinary tract severely. Nucleic acid amplification tests yield fast results, and among these, new technologies can also detect drug resista...

Malakoplakia is a rare inflammatory condition that can affect many organ systems, including genitourinary tract, it is associated with impaired immune function. It is characterized by distinctive Michaelis-Gutmann bodies. Very rare cases have been reported to present as a locally advanced renal mass.

Leiomyomas are benign tumors arising from any site containing smooth muscle. They are infrequently found in the genitourinary tract,most common site here being renal capsule. Rarely they may found in the epididymis ,spermatic cord and tunica. Leiomyoma of tunica albuginea is extremely rare. Here we report a case of leiomyoma of tunica albuginea in a 50 year old man.

genitourinary tuberculosis (gutb) is difficult to diagnose in the earlier stage owing to the non-specific symptoms. usually, renal tuberculous involvement is unilateral and the imaging finding is renal calcification, but associated calcifications of bilateral ureter and bladder are rare. we report a 66-year-old man who presented with diffuse calcification of the urinary system (including bilate...

primitive neuroectodermal tumors of the kidney are rare tumors representing about 1% of all sarcomas. extraskeletal primitive neuroectodermal tumors may be found in the genitourinary tract, the testes, ovaries, uterus, or pancreas. renal primitive neuroec- todermal tumors are frequently aggressive and almost 30% of all newly diagnosed cases present with distant metastases. surgical intervention...

Introduction: Genitourinary infections are common in Diabetes patients compared to the general population more so with Sodium glucose co transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) treatment , So, we did a study find prevalence of genitourinary infection T2DM treated SGLT2i.
 Methods: One hundred and twenty receiving SGLT2i, who had signs symptoms indicative were enrolled into study.
 Results: ...

Thymosins beta 4 (Tβ4) is a member of the beta-thymosins family, a family of peptides playing essential roles in many cellular functions. Our recent studies suggested Tβ4 plays a key role in the development of human salivary glands and the gastrointestinal tract. The aim of this study was to analyse the presence of Tβ4 in the human adult and foetal genitourinary tract. Immunoloca...

OBJECTIVE To assess the association between genitourinary infections in the month before conception to the end of the first trimesterand gastroschisis. DESIGN Case-control study with self reported infections from a computer assisted telephone interview. SETTING National birth defects prevention study, a multisite, population based study including 10 surveillance systems for birth defects in...

INTRODUCTION The Focal Infection Theory, originally presented at the beginning of the 20(th) century, postulates that systemic diseases can be caused by microorganisms that arise from the focus of infection. Foci of infections have been described as sinuses, adenoids, tonsils, teeth, genitourinary tract, gall bladder and kidneys. A focus of infection is defined as the area that can occur in any...

The symptoms and signs of urinary tract infection (UTI) in the newborn are non-specific. We carried out a retrospective investigation of 30 neonates in whom urinary tract infections were diagnosed by urinary culture. In our study, UTI was a little more common in boys (56%). Eight babies (27%) had low birth weights (less then 2,500 gm). In addition to fever, gastrointestinal tract symptoms and j...
