The study aim was to determine whether there is a correlation between subclinical forms of genitourinary tuberculosis (GUTB) and immune status. All patients admitted to the Pneumology Clinic of the Thomayer Hospital, Prague with lung tuberculosis (LTB) were enrolled in the study. The study group consisted of 102 patients, 75 males and 27 females, median age of 46.8 years. In a previously published part of the study, 6.9 % of LTB patients were diagnosed with subclinical forms of GUTB. In the present part of the study, immune status was determined in patients with subclinical forms of GUTB by measuring circulating immunoglobulin G and CD4 T cell levels. The comparison of the immunological results did not show a statistically significant difference between the patients diagnosed with GUTB and other LTB patients..
