Two hundred and thirty patients with genito-urinary tuberculosis presenting between 1970 and 1979 were reviewed. In 22 per cent there was a history of previous tuberculosis and a family history in 14 per cent. Night sweats and weight loss were uncommon. The mean duration of medical treatment was 17 months. Surgery was necessary in 49 per cent of patients but reconstructive procedures were only performed in 7 per cent of cases. The mean follow-up period after diagnosis was 46 months. Patients with initial renal calcification were followed-up for a similar time to those with no calcification. Complications during follow-up were no more common in those with initial renal calcification than in those without this feature. With the exception of 1971 and 1972, there was a steady incidence of 20 or so new cases of genito-urinary tuberculosis per year in Glasgow.
对1970年至1979年间就诊的230例泌尿生殖系统结核患者进行了回顾性研究。22%的患者有既往结核病史，14%的患者有家族病史。盗汗和体重减轻并不常见。平均药物治疗时间为17个月。49%的患者需要手术治疗，但只有7%的病例进行了重建手术。诊断后的平均随访期为46个月。初始有肾钙化的患者与无钙化的患者随访时间相似。随访期间，初始有肾钙化的患者出现并发症的情况并不比无此特征的患者更常见。除1971年和1972年外，格拉斯哥每年泌尿生殖系统结核新发病例稳定在20例左右。
