In 2020 10 million people fell ill with tuberculosis and 1.5 million people died from TB. Worldwide, currently, TB is the 13th leading cause of death and the second leading infectious killer after COVID-19. Multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) remains a public health crisis and a health security threat (WHO). Urogenital TB develops after up to 20 years after the primary infection and often goes undiagnosed. This recording focuses on the diagnosis and best management practices of urogenital TB, which is often forgotten to be included in the differential diagnosis algorithm.
