ABSTRACT

A tuberculose (TB) é dos mais graves problemas de saúde humano e associa-se a pobreza, incipiência do sistema de saúde, deficiência de gestão que dificulta a diminuição de doenças de determinismo social, epidemia do vírus da imunodeficiência humana e imunodeficiência adquirida e multirresistência do M. tuberculosis. O acometimento extrapulmonar ocorre em 15% dos casos de TB e pode evoluir com amesma sintomatologia geral do acometimento pulmonar, com variações na dependência de sua localização e gravidade. Este relato apresenta paciente com hematúria e polaciúria incapacitante para a vida social, associada inicialmente à neoplasia, e determinada pela TB geniturinária, com diagnóstico após histopatologia de espécime clínico obtido da bexiga, em que o tempo longo para o diagnóstico foi determinante para grave sequela. Objetiva alertar para a TB como doença permanente no Brasil ea necessidade de ser considerada sempre como diagnóstico diferencial de doenças pulmonares ou extrapulmonares.


Tuberculosis (TB) is among the most serious human health concerns and is associated with poverty, limited availability of health care services and bad management, all of which negatively affect the possibility of reducing socially-determined diseases, such as HIV/AIDS epidemics and multidrug resistant M. tuberculosis. Extrapulmonary involvement occurs in 15% of TB cases and can develop with the same overall symptomatology of exclusively pulmonary involvement, with smaller variations depending on location and severity. This report presents a patient with hematuria and pollakiuria with incapacitating effects on social life, initially thought of as a malignancy and later identified as genitourinary TB. Diagnosis was based on histopathology of clinical specimens from the bladder. Time elapsed between onset and diagnosis led to considerable sequelae. This report aims at raising awareness of TB as a permanent concern in Brazil and of the need to always considered it as a differential diagnosis of pulmonary or extrapulmonary disease.
