چکیده
A molecular method for early detection of active female genital tuberculosis from clinical endometrial tissue specimens was developed by modifying single tube nested reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. The reliability of this method was compared with the gold standard culture method (a combination of Mycobacterium Growth Indicator Tube system and Lowenstein Jiensen media) that is a still corner stone on which a definitive diagnosis relies. The viability of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (half-life only 2-3 min), excellent yield and purity of isolated total ribonucleic acid from clinical tissue specimens were obtained by using commercially available kits and reagents. The use of special negative control (template without reverse transcriptase enzyme) makes the modified method more reliable for diagnostic purposes, since it checks deoxyribo nucleic acid contamination. Finally, early detection of active female genital tuberculosis is possible by this modified method rather than time consuming culture methods.

Onm-18: Infertility and Pregnancy Outcome in Female Genital Tuberculosis
Background: Tuberculosis of the genital tract is one of the major causes of gynecological morbidity. Genital TB affects about 12% of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and represents 15-20% of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Genital TB may be asymptomatic but involves genital organs such as fallopian tubes, endometrium, ovaries, cervix, vulva/ vagina and myometrium. The major presenting symptom ...

A multiple-antigen detection assay for tuberculosis diagnosis based on broadly reactive polyclonal antibodies
Objective(s): Detection of circulating Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) antigens is promising in Tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis. However, not a single antigen marker has been found to be widely expressed in all TB patients. This study is aimed to prepare broadly reactive polyclonal antibodies targeting multiple antigen markers (multi-target antibodies) and evaluate their efficacies in ...

Objective Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) infection is the most common sexually transmitted disease in the world that can persist and also ascend in the genital tract. This intracellular and silent infection is related to some adverse pregnancy outcomes, such as miscarriage. The aims of this study were to explore the best CT screening tests using blood and vaginal samples and to investigate the corr...
