SUMMARY The pattern of genito‐urinary tuberculosis has not changed in recent years. The standard chemotherapeutic treatment remains as triple therapy, using streptomycin, soniazid and PAS, but Rifampicin may open up a new era in the treatment of genito‐urinary tuberculosis. Renal tuberculosis is rarely a factor in renal hypertension. Reconstructive surgery of bladder and ureter is now a standard part of the treatment of genito‐urinary tuberculosis.
