TB epididymo-orchitis present as difusely enlarged lesions, which may be homogeneous or heterogeneous and can also present as nodular enlarged heterogeneously hypoechoic lesions [ 20 ]. [omicsonline.org]

Entire Body System
- Weight Loss
A 51-year-old man presented with painless left testicular swelling for 1 month, with fevers, chills, night sweats, weight loss, and increased difficulty voiding over 6 months. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Symptoms of TB in the lungs may include A bad cough that lasts 3 weeks or longer Weight loss Loss of appetite Coughing up blood or mucus Weakness or fatigue Fever Night sweats Skin tests, blood tests, x-rays, and other tests can tell if you have TB. [icdlist.com]
Such symptoms include unexplained weight loss, fatigue, fever and a general feeling of being unwell. [livestrong.com]
PTB in men may manifest itself with symptoms such as unexplained weight loss, sweating, chills, fever etc. Genital TB in men is often mistaken for other bacterial infections like tumors or fungal diseases. [asterhospital.com]
Case Report This 70 year old gentleman presented to us with chief complaints of lower urinary tract symptoms, especially nocturia since last few months, burning micturition on and off, and unexplained weight loss of around 10 kg in the last 3 months. [jmedsoc.org]
Respiratoric
- Pneumonia
“Between ’05 and ’08 I had pneumonia, a collapsed lung and pleurisy. I was in hospital for two months and completely wiped out. I would sleep all the time. “When I finally got out of hospital, I still never felt right. [myvmc.com]
Tuberculous pneumonia can begin in this way, as can tuberculosis of any other organ. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
Symptoms from the respiratory tract: Fever, cough, night sweats, erythema nodosum, pleurodynia, bloody sputum and cheesy pneumonia. In chronic cases: respiratory insufficiency due to increasing fibrosis, amyloidosis, and caverns carcinoma. [urology-textbook.com]
With most infectious diseases (such as strep throat or pneumonia), people become sick right after the microorganism enters the body and are noticeably ill within 1 or 2 weeks. Tuberculosis does not follow this pattern. [merckmanuals.com]
Thus, if a patient has pneumococcal pneumonia, you can’t make the diagnosis by looking at a chest x-ray - you need to grow the pneumococci in the lab, in a petri dish. [drmalpani.com]
Gastrointestinal
- Nausea
Symptoms include fever, constant headache, neck stiffness, nausea, confusion, and drowsiness that can lead to coma. Tuberculosis may also infect the brain itself, forming a mass called a tuberculoma. [merckmanuals.com]
Nausea and vomiting are also common. The testis is enlarged, indurated and tender on palpation. Doppler US shows increased blood flow to the testis. [egetipdergisi.com.tr]
Cardiovascular
- Tachycardia
Cardiomegaly, tachycardia, fever, pericardial rub, pulsus paradoxus, or distended neck veins may be found on examination. 41 Pericardial biopsy yields a definitive diagnosis more often than pericardial fluid alone. 41 In addition to antituberculous therapy [aafp.org]
Neurologic
- Tremor
[…] and kanamycin By injection into a muscle Kidney injury, dizziness, hearing loss (due to damage to nerves of the inner ear), rash, and fever Fluoroquinolones, such as levofloxacin, moxifloxacin By mouth Inflammation or rupture of tendons Nervousness, tremors [merckmanuals.com]
Urogenital
- Dysuria
Half of the patients with prostate tuberculosis complained of dysuria, 23 (39.6%) had perineal pain, 34 (58.6%) had flank pain. Leucocytes in urine were present in 49 (84.5%) patients, and in prostatic secretion in 45 (77.6%) patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Many other conditions, including a run-of-the-mill urinary tract infection, can cause dysuria, so this symptom is not helpful in diagnosing urinary TB. Hematuria means blood in the urine. [livestrong.com]
He was placed on isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol, as well as highly active antiretroviral therapy, with improvement of his dysuria and fevers. [sti.bmj.com]
It may present with symptoms such as, dysuria, frequency, hematuria, and hemospermia. Digital rectal examination (DRE) may reveal firm, irregular enlargement, nodularity, or soft areas of necrosis. The nodularity of prostate may mimic. [omicsonline.org]
- Burning Micturition
Case Report This 70 year old gentleman presented to us with chief complaints of lower urinary tract symptoms, especially nocturia since last few months, burning micturition on and off, and unexplained weight loss of around 10 kg in the last 3 months. [jmedsoc.org]
Workup
It mainly affects women during the childbearing period and is often detected incidentally during a workup for infertility. What are the early symptoms of genital TB? Genital TB can be notoriously difficult to detect in the early stages. [mapsofindia.com]
In addition, perform a full workup for malignancies if tubercles or ulcers are present away from ureteric orifices, if genital ulcers are present, or with suspicious renal lesions. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Female genital TB is typically understood as a disease of young women, with 80% to 90% of cases diagnosed in patients 20–40 years old, often during workup for infertility. 5 More recent reports from Sweden and Scotland suggest a trend toward presentation [glowm.com]
All patients presenting for infertility evaluation must be thoroughly examined, but if there are no features suggestive of genital Tb, extensive laboratory workup in form of semen and EPS smear, culture and PCR is probably not required ( 53 ). [tau.amegroups.com]

Treatment of Urogenital Tuberculosis Standard treatment of tuberculosis: Standard antituberculostatic treatment is done with isoniazid + rifampicin + pyrazinamide + ethambutol for 2 months. [urology-textbook.com]
Standard 6 months of therapy is likely adequate for treatment, and small studies suggest that shorter courses of treatment may be effective Footnote 190. [canada.ca]
