Die Tuberkulose der weiblichen Genitalien und des Peritoneums

Is Tuberculosis of the Femal Uro‐genital Tract an Entity?

“…THE combination of genital with urinary tract tuberculosis in the female is usually regarded as a rare occurrence. This concept, as well as the lack of close anatomical and functional associations between the female genitalia and urinary tract led Heynemann (1933) and Stoeckel (1952) to deny the existence of urogenital tuberculosis. More recently, however, May and Strauss (1959), May (1961, 1963) have suggested that female urogenital tuberculosis occurs just as it does in men, and that in the female genital tuberculosis is nearly always either accompanied or followed by urinary tuberculosis.…”
