Abstract

Introduction: Urogenital tuberculosis (UGTB) is a frequent presentation of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Recognizing this condition is paramount for healthcare providers, especially in patients living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), as it significantly influences both mortality and quality of life.

Case report: Case report This report presents the case of a 57-year-old male patient diagnosed with de novo HIV infection who presented with respiratory and urinary symptoms, and prostate abscess in a computed tomography. He was ultimately diagnosed with a tuberculous prostate abscess through real-time polymerase chain reaction.

Conclusions: Conclusions This case underscores the importance of utilizing molecular diagnostic tools in identifying UGTB, shedding light on their invaluable role in timely diagnosis.
