Urogenital tuberculosis in Israel.

Forty-four patients were treated for urogenital tuberculosis in our ward from 1956 to 1975. Four patients were Israeli born and all the others were immigrants, mostly from Eastern Europe. Immigration greatly influences local morbidity, and tuberculosis is no exception. The highly developed preventive and social medicine of Israel has excellent results, and prognosis is more than favorable. Only one death was registered in our material, and this was due to renal failure of long duration.
