Background:

Female genital tuberculosis (FG-TB) is a significant cause of morbidity, particularly infertility and abnormal vaginal bleeding.
While incidence is low in developed regions (<1%), it exceeds 1% in developing countries.
FG-TB often presents subtly, leading to overlooked cases and an unknown actual incidence.

Observation:

Definitive diagnosis relies on histopathology or microbiology, but bacteriological tests are frequently omitted.
No specific laboratory or imaging tests can definitively distinguish FG-TB from other conditions.
Clinical suspicion is the crucial first step in diagnosing FG-TB.

Findings:

Tissue biopsy for histopathology and microbiological investigation is essential for definitive FG-TB diagnosis.
Infertility cases in developing countries warrant FG-TB consideration after excluding common causes.
Current diagnostic methods lack specificity, underscoring the need for improved detection strategies.

Implications:

Increased awareness and diagnostic suspicion are vital for timely FG-TB identification.
Integrating microbiological analysis with histopathology can improve diagnostic accuracy.
Further research into specific diagnostic markers for FG-TB is warranted to reduce morbidity.
