Abstract

Abstract Tuberculosis secondary affects the genitourinary system, has vague symptoms, and is uncommon in children younger than 3–10 years. Renal thimble bladder (TB) damage, including renal failure and decreased bladder capacity, results from a delayed diagnosis. Here, we will discuss a patient with a 9-year-old TB instance.
