Immunohistochemical diagnosis of urinary bladder tuberculosis

Abstract

Diagnostics of urinary bladder tuberculosis bases on pathological verification. Standard histological staining (hematoxylin–eosin) reveals glaucomatous inflammation, but cannot estimate its etiology.
Aim of our study was to evaluate the role of complex immunohistochemical method in diagnostic of tuberculosis infection in bladder. Our study included 21 histological specimen of the resected bladder in case of nephrotuberculosis. Standard histological examination revealed specific changes in bladder tissue only in 2 cases, while immunohistochemical method with antibodies to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MBT) demonstrated positive reaction at 5 patients. Investigation of lower urinary tract function in late postoperative period showed that patients with positive anti-MBT reaction had clinically significant chronic urinary retention, as well as their degree of urinary disorders assessed using a questionnaire IPSS-Qol was higher. Thus, the use of IHC method in combination with standard histological examination improves diagnostics of urinary bladder tuberculosis, and it may serve the predictor of long-term results of surgical treatment of microcystis.
