Role of newer methods of diagnosing genital tuberculosis in infertile women

Abstract: Genital tuberculosis is an important under-diagnosed factor of infertility. A vast majority of cases are asymptomatic and diagnosing them will help in treating such patients. We conducted a retrospective study in a tertiary care hospital of Delhi with an aim to compare different methods i.e., histopathological examination (HPE), acid-fast bacilli (AFB) smears, Lowenstein-Jensen (LJ) culture, BACTEC culture and polymerase chain reaction deoxyribonucleic acid (PCR-DNA) for diagnosing endometrial tuberculosis in … Show more

“…10,[13][14][15] In the developing countries due to the high incidences of tuberculosis and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) up to 39-41% women were associated with infertility. 16 PID causes damage to the fallopian tube along with pelvic adhesions, both leading to impaired tubal function and infertility. We report 32 (9.6%) of patients had proximal block for which they have undergone hysteroscopic cannulation.…”
