Tuberculosis of the bladder is a rare pathology in the western world and often not considered as a differential when seeing patients with common urological presentations. This case illustrates a 69-year-old woman in rural England who presented with visible haematuria and was subsequently diagnosed with tuberculosis of the bladder. The case aims to highlight the significance of early diagnosis and treatment, which in turn may help prevent disease progression and organ dysfunction.
膀胱结核在西方世界是一种罕见的病症，在诊治具有常见泌尿系统症状的患者时，通常不会将其列为鉴别诊断的考虑对象。本病例介绍了一位来自英国农村的69岁女性，她因肉眼血尿就诊，随后被诊断为膀胱结核。该病例旨在强调早期诊断和治疗的重要性，这反过来可能有助于预防疾病进展和器官功能障碍。
