Pelvic tuberculosis

چکیده
Pelvic tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) (95%) or Mycobacterium bovis (5%). The incidence of pelvic tuberculosis is difficult to assess as many patients are asymptomatic for 10 to 20 years, therefore the disease often comes to light only incidentally during the course of investigation for a gynecological complaint (such as problems conceiving). Pelvic tuberculosis may also create an adnexal mass, ascites or both and thus can be difficult to distinguish from other pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) causes.
