ABSTRACT
Out-patient records of 1006 patients representing urologic tuberculosis risk groups and those of 104 persons never treated for urologic diseases before were analysed. Subjects with multiple and long-term aggravations of a urologic process and persistent pyuria were at higher risk for urinary tuberculosis. This group of patients made up 20-25% of those registered as having nonspecific diseases of the urinary system. A high risk group should also include patients who are observed and treated for different nonurologic conditions. At the same time their clinical urinalyses indicate stable abnormalities, including leukocyturia, albuminuria and hematuria.
