background: genital tuberculosis (gtb) is an important cause of female infertility, especially in developing countries. the positive results of polymerase chain reaction (pcr) in endometrial gtb in the absence of tubal damage raise the possibility of the detection of sub-clinical or latent disease, with doubtful benefits of treatment. objective: to evaluate the mycobacterium tuberculosis infect...

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 ...

Genital tuberculosis of women is part of extra pulmonary forms of tuberculosis. It is an uncommon disease in developed countries, but remains endemic in developing countries. The causative agent is, in most cases, Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Genital tuberculosis is a cause of infertility. The definitive diagnosis is made by biology or histology. Because this affection is paucibacillary, these t...

Because genital tuberculosis is frequently asymptomatic, the disease may not manifest itself for years after initial infection. Clinical symptoms usually appear 10 to 15 We report a case of 47 old women with history right breast cancer who was suffering from post menauposicmetrorrhagia, ultrasound revealed thickening endometrium, and biopsy endometrial tuberculosis, Genital uncommon in postmeno...

OBJECTIVE Tuberculosis remains a global health problem and is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Female genital tuberculosis is rare in the western world, but relevant in developing countries like India. The aim of this study was to determine histologic findings of different parts of the female genital tract affected by tuberculosis and to correlate it with other features. MATERIA...

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...

BACKGROUND Although tuberculosis (TB) is a major health problem worldwide, primary extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB), and in particular female genital tract infection, remains a rare event. CASE REPORT A 35-year-old human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) seropositive woman of African descent with lower abdominal pain and fever of two days duration underwent surgery due to left adnexal mass sugge...

Methods A prospective case-control study was undertaken. A total of 302 endo-ovarian tissue biopsies collected from 202 infertile women highly suspected of having genital tuberculosis on laparoscopic examination and from 100 control women of reproductive age. All specimens tested by conventional/phenotypic methods were later compared with multi-gene/ multi-primer PCR method using four sets of p...
