    Area of Science:

    • Gynecology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Pelvic tuberculosis (TBC) presents diagnostic challenges.
    • Infertility is a common symptom, especially in immigrant populations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the clinical presentation and diagnostic methods for pelvic TBC.
    • To assess the utility of hysterosalpingography in diagnosing genital TBC.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 20 patients diagnosed with pelvic TBC between 1971-1975.
    • Review of presenting complaints, pelvic examinations, chest X-rays, endometrial biopsies, hysterosalpingograms, and cultures.

    Main Results:

    • Infertility (14/20) and pelvic pain (6/20) were frequent complaints.

  • Endometrial biopsies showed granulomatous endometritis in 10/16 patients.
  • Hysterosalpingography revealed abnormalities indicative of TBC in 14/15 patients.

    • Conclusions:

    • Genital TBC should be considered in cases of infertility, particularly in foreign-born patients.
    • Hysterosalpingography is a valuable diagnostic aid for pelvic TBC.
    • Definitive diagnosis requires positive culture or histology for Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
