Introduction:
Genital tuberculosis is a secondary form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis and represents a public health issue. This study aims to analyze the trend, impact, and collaboration in scientific activity related to genital tuberculosis.
Methods:
A descriptive bibliometric study was conducted on 237 articles published in Scopus-indexed journals addressing the topic of genital tuberculosis. The search employed MESH terms and logical operators; bibliometric metrics were estimated using the SciVal tool. In addition, the VOS viewer was used to represent a coauthorship network.
Results:
Journals in quartiles Q3 and Q4 had the highest number of publications, with the Indian Journal of Tuberculosis leading the field, although the Journal of Minimally Invasive Gynecology demonstrated greater impact. Indian institutions have conducted the most research, with the All India Institute of Medical Sciences being the most productive. Sharma Jai Bhagwan, followed by Singh Urvashi Balbir and Dharmendra Sona, had the highest number of citations, while J. Singh Neeta exhibited the greatest impact (18.6 citations per publication). National collaboration (44.3%) was the most common type of partnership, followed by institutional collaboration (42.6%), both of which also had more citations. However, international collaboration showed the greatest impact (6.7 citations per publication).
Conclusion:
Research on genital tuberculosis has remained steady and is primarily disseminated in Q3 journals. Collaboration is predominantly national and institutional, with India leading in research output.

Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
