Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis is one of the most important health problems in the world especially in Developing countries. Female GENITAL TUBERCULOSIS begins with a hematogenous focus in the endosalpinx from which it may spread to the endometrium (50%), ovaries (30%), cervix (10%), and vagina (1%).'Common complaints are infertility or local symptoms consisting of menstrual disorders and pelvic pain. Although cultures of menstrual blood or endometrial scrapings may be positive, the diagnosis is usually made by analysis of biopsy specimens obtained from the endometrium, laparacopic biopsy specimens. Hysterosalpingography images may suggest female GENITAL TUBERCULOSIS by demonstrating abnormal findings within the uterus and fallopian tubes. The variations and dispersion of GENITAL TUBERCULOSIS observed between the developed and developing countries tempted us to evaluate entire cases of GENITAL TUBERCULOSIS in Zahedan between 1998-2003.Method: This study was a retrospective-descriptive survey among 27 women who were referred to the Medical Health Center of Zahedan ffom1998 till 2003 with GENITAL TUBERCULOSIS.Results: Our study sl10wedthat female GENITAL TUBERCULOSIS formed 6.47% of all extrapulmonary tuberculosis cases.A total of 27 patients were evaluated. Peak incidence (66.4%) was diagnosed in age group 20-30 years. Majority of patients were Iranian 81.5%). 94% of the patients had positive tuberculin test.Common complaints were infertility (88.9%) and abnormal menstrual (7.4%), pelvic and abdominal pain (3.7%). Diagnosis was made bYl1ysterosalpingographyimages and ENDOMETRIAL BIOPSY specimens. Evidence of old tuberculosis was not seen in any patients.Conclusion: Our study sample though small., still reflects the high PREVALENCE rate of infertility due to GENITAL TUBERCULOSIS in endemic areas such as Zahedan.
