摘要
Authors present two patients suffering from renal tuberculosis, which caused differential diagnostic problems. The first patient was examined because of fever and left flank pain. Computed tomography revealed renal shrinkage on the left side. Retrograde pyelography demonstrated ureteric stricture and dilated calices. Urine culture showed Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Two months after initiation of the antituberculotic therapy nephrectomy was performed. The second patient was referred to the department because of fever after unsuccessful antibiotic treatment. Ultrasound examination showed a staghorn stone, dilated renal pelvis and perirenal abscess on the left side. Double J catheter insertion and percutaneous puncture of the abscess were performed. Culture of the pus aspirated proved Proteus morganii. Fever and complaints of the patient relieved after antibiotic treatment. Two months later double J catheter was changed because of persistent pyelonephritis. One week later the patient returned to the hospital with fever, which could not be reduced with intravenous antibiotics. Computed tomography showed purulent fluid in the left kidney, and nephrectomy was performed. Histology revealed renal tuberculosis. The authors summarize the diagnosis and treatment of renal tuberculosis on the basis of these two cases.
