summary

In 84 patients with ureteral tuberculosis pathomorphologieal, radiological and clinical investigations were carried out. The results of the investigations served for drawing conclusions that: ureteral tuberculosis develops mainly from the lumen of the ureter. Stricture of the lower segment of the ureter is due to bladder tuberculosis. After 3 mor.ths of chemotherapy in most patients no histological evidence of ureteral tuberculosis was found. The urographic pattern of the ureter in successive investigations makes possible predicting the results of
treatment.
