    Summary

    The introduction of anti-tuberculosis drugs significantly improved the treatment of female genital tract tuberculosis, with drug combinations like streptomycin, PAS, and isoniazid yielding the best results. Surgery under drug cover effectively managed cases where drug treatment failed or pelvic masses developed.

    Tuberculosis of the female genital tract.

    Tubercle·1985

    Area of Science:

    • Medicine
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Gynecology

    Background:

    • Female genital tract tuberculosis treatment was historically unsatisfactory before effective drugs.
    • Surgical interventions carried high risks of complications like fistula and mortality.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of anti-tuberculosis drug regimens in treating female genital tract tuberculosis.
    • To assess the safety and outcomes of surgical interventions combined with drug therapy.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparison of various drug treatment programs, including combinations of streptomycin, PAS, and isoniazid.
    • Surgical management of patients with treatment failure or pelvic masses, conducted under antibiotic cover.
    • Investigation into the sexual transmission of male genitourinary tuberculosis.

    Main Results:

    • Drug therapy, particularly a 18-month regimen of streptomycin, PAS, and isoniazid, demonstrated superior outcomes.
    • Surgery performed under drug cover resulted in no serious complications or fatalities.
    • A new drug regimen including streptomycin, ethambutol, and isoniazid is currently under evaluation.

    Conclusions:

    • Anti-tuberculosis drugs have revolutionized the management of female genital tract tuberculosis.
    • Combined drug and surgical therapy offers a safe and effective approach for complex cases.
    • Further research is needed on the transmission dynamics of genitourinary tuberculosis.
