摘要：
We present the case of a patient with suspected genitourinary tuberculosis in whom confirmation by direct smear examination was negative. Detection of mycobacterial DNA by use of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) established the diagnosis, which was confirmed by culture 4 weeks later. Given its very high sensitivity and positivity, PCR may become the method of choice for rapid diagnosis of genitourinary tuberculosis and institution of therapy.
