Tuberculosis of bladder – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/112180879

Tuberculous infection of the bladder is almost always secondary to renal tuberculosis. It may be asymptomatic or may present with pain and dysuria. The diagnosis should be suspected if no causative organisms can be isolated and symptoms do not respond to standard therapy for urinary tract infection.
