Clinical-Immunological Description of Urological Diseases in Patients with Tuberculosis

Abstract

When tuberculosis is accompanied by urological diseases, changes in the patient's overall condition, as well as in the immune system, are observed. This is mainly characterized by a profound total secondary immunodeficiency of the T-cell system. When tuberculosis and urological diseases coexist, significant acute changes in the B-cell branch of the immune system (humoral immunity) were not observed, indicating that urological diseases do not have a practical negative impact on the B-cell branch of the immune system and that they are not a complicating factor for pulmonary tuberculosis in terms of humoral immunity.
