N2  - Tuberculosis (TB) is second only to HIV/AIDS as the greatest killer worldwide due to a single infectious agent. In 2016, 10.4 million people were affected by TB with more than 1.3 million deaths. One fifth of all TB related death were suffering of HIV. Eighty percent of male patients with pulmonary TB are young men. The problem of the influence of pulmonary TB on the sexual function in men has been covered in medical literature insufficiently. Mostly articles were devoted to urogenital tuberculosis (UGTB) as well as for female genital tuberculosis (FGTB). The negative impact on the reproductive function by both TB as an infection disease and anti-TB therapy was shown in some articles. Not only genital TB, but also pulmonary TB disturbs both sexual and reproductive functions in males and females. TB patients have to take not less than 4 anti-TB drugs simultaneously for a long time and anti-TB drugs negatively influence on sexual function too.
