Genitourinary tuberculosis is not decreased in its incidence all over the world despite of marked decreasing the pulmonary tuberculosis since antituberculous regimens was developed. In Korea, the pulmonary tuberculosis is also showed decreasing tendency as in the other countries, but the urogenital tuberculosis is not changed markedly. Furthermore, the antituberculous drugs should be changed due to resistant strains from the so-called previous first choice drugs for treatment, paraaminosalicylic acid and streptomycin, to ethambutol and cycloserine etc.
106 inpatients for 13 years (1963-1975) and 40 ambulant patients for 2 years (1974-1975) with urogenital tuberculosis were surveyed in Department of Urology, Korea University Hospital, Seoul, Korea.
The sex ratio as admitted patients was 2 times more in male than in female, and the most frequent involvement in 3rd decade (34.9%).
The incidence of genitourinary tuberculosis was 5.9 per cent to all the inpatients for 13 years (1963-1975) and this showed decreasing tendency in its incidence gradually. On the other hand, the percentage as ambulant cases was less than 1 per cent.
The ratio between renal and epididymal tuberculosis was 2 : 1.
