For defining the informative value of diaskintest (DST) as a screening metod 126 patients were divided into three groups: the 1st group included the patients with active genitourinary tuberculosis (GUTB), n = 31; the 2nd group included patients with inactive GUTB, n = 16; the 3rd group included the patients with chronic infections of urogenital tract, n = 79. Besides standard inspection, all patients underwent a skin test with diaskintest and Kokh’s provocative tuberculin test. Sensitivity of DST was 78.6% and sensitivity of Koch’s skin test was 82.8%. Specificity of DST in the first group was 23.1%, Koch’s skin test specificity was 100%. Thus, DST is not effective in GUTB screening.
