HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Tb can affect different aspects of the body, so it is possible that a person may have a TB infection of the urogenital tract. This is the reason that the bacteria would have shown up in the urinary tract. If you wish to retest to make sure that the infection is present then you should do it as soon as you can. I hope this helps
