Tuberculous azoospermia - a case report

This a case report of an immunocompetent (HIV negative) 54 years old man who had been diagnosed with epididymo-testicular tuberculosis. This happened 13 years after he had suffered from pulmonary tuberculosis. The diagnosis was made after a testicular biopsy for infertility. The outcome of anti-tuberculosis treatment was good although the azoospermia lasted. The aim of this report is to emphasize that the genital tuberculosis still exists in our sub-region and that high index of suspicion is required with effective anti-tuberculous therapy in order to achieve good outcome.
