Abstract
- Sixteen clinical records of patients 6 to 15 years old with renal tuberculosis registered over a 21 years period, were analysed. An increased incidence of this condition in the last 8 years was observed. Macrohematuria (56.3^ and enuiesis (18,8%) were the first evidences of the disease. Radiological findings at the excretory urography, corresponded to grades 0, in four patients 11 in six and II through IV in four children (Lattimer's modified classification). Lesions were of grades II or less, in 75% of the cases. In all patients the diagnosis was confirmed either by the isolation of tubercle bacilli from urine, as ocurred in 14 patients (87.5%) or by distinctive histological findings in the other two cases. The results of treatment were satisfactory in eleven properly followed cases (68.7 %). Three patients were followed up in different health centers and information of their final state was not available for us. The scarcity of clinical symptoms and radiological signs in the reported patients is attributed to early diagnosis and an adequate management. (
