  • Title: [Results of radiological studies of prostate lesions in patients with urinary tract tuberculosis (author's transl)].
    Author: Dana A, Michel JR, Affre J, Moreau JF.
    Journal: J Radiol; 1979; 60(6-7):379-85. PubMed ID: 501693.
    Abstract:
    The authors have reviewed the case-reports of 160 patients with urinary tract tuberculosis in whom a complete radiological examination of the lower urinary tract had been performed. They analyze the frequency and significance of any prostatic lesions and describe the most effective investigational procedures for demonstrating such lesions. They were observed in about 50% of patients as opacification of the prostatic cavities, and can be clearly demonstrated in the large majority of cases by micturition cystography after intravenous urography, provided a satisfactory technique hs been used. In those cases where intravenous urography does not permit an effective micturition study, retrograde opacification is necessary, preferably by suprapubic cystography, and in some well-defined cases, by retrograde uretrography. The search for any prostatic affection is not a t a speculative study as it can explain some of the symptoms presented by the patient, and enable specific therapy to be prescribed.
