A review of the 181 cases of gynaecological tuberculosis notified in Victoria between the years 1961 and 1980 is made. The incidence of the disease is gradually falling and is currently 0.16 per 100,000. The majority of affected women were found to be immigrants to Australia with Southern European patients predominating. Nearly 46% of the women presented with infertility, while 43% were investigated for various symptoms. Twenty-one patients had children before the diagnosis was made, but only 4 conceived after treatment. A comparison with overseas studies is made.
