S Lenk, and H M Guddat, and M Rothkopf, and G Brien

208 males with tuberculosis of the urogenital system showed a participation of prostate in 110 cases (53%), however, in 52 transrectal punch biopsies of the prostate only 25 times a tuberculosis could histologically be proved. An isolated tuberculosis of the prostate was found only in 6 males (5.4%), in most cases accidentally in biopsies of the prostate, after adenomectomy of the prostate or TURP. The way of the infection of the tuberculosis of the male genitals and the question of the primary focus on the genitals remained unclarified.
