Genitourinary tuberculosis is the second most common site of infection in humans by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, second only to pulmonary tuberculosis.
It can most easily be divided anatomically into:
renal tuberculosis (renal parenchyma, calyces and renal pelvis)
scrotal tuberculosis (testes, epididymis, seminal vesicles, ductus deferens)
For a general discussion of the disease, refer to the article on tuberculosis.
