[Genital tuberculosis and sterility]

A Giarola, G Agostini

    Minerva Medica
    |December 15, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Genital tuberculosis affects 5.03% of women with infertility, with latent forms being most common. Effective chemotherapy regimens, including attach, basic, and consolidation therapy, show encouraging results for clinical cure and pregnancy outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Medicine
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Gynecology

    Context:

    • Genital tuberculosis (GTB) is a significant cause of female infertility.
    • Diagnosis and management of GTB present challenges due to varied presentations.
    • Long-term data from specialized fertility centers are crucial for understanding GTB's impact.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the incidence of genital tuberculosis in infertile women.
    • To assess the effectiveness of different chemotherapy regimens for GTB.
    • To analyze pregnancy outcomes following GTB treatment.

    Summary:

    • A study of 294 patients over 30 years revealed a 5.03% incidence of genital tuberculosis in infertile women (0.27% active, 4.76% latent).
    • Chemotherapy involved multi-drug regimens (streptomycin-isoniazid-ethambutol or rifampicin-isoniazid) with phased approaches: attach, basic, and consolidation therapy.
    • Encouraging results were observed, including clinical cure and successful pregnancies leading to eutocic deliveries.

    Impact:

    • Provides crucial epidemiological data on genital tuberculosis in infertile populations.
    • Highlights the efficacy of structured multi-drug chemotherapy in managing GTB.
    • Offers insights into improved reproductive outcomes for women with GTB.
