Difficulties in diagnosing genitourinary tuberculosis: A case of delayed diagnosis resulting in nephrectomy
Genitourinary tuberculosis (GUTB) is a rare infectious disease, yet delays in diagnosis can lead to serious complications. This study presents a case of GUTB in which diagnosis was delayed due to negative conventional laboratory tests, ultimately necessitating nephrectomy at an advanced stage. Initially, the symptoms mimicked a urinary tract infection, which resulted in progressive renal damage. The diagnostic challenges and treatment approaches are discussed in light of the current literature through this case.
