Study to find out the incidence of genital tuberculosis is a cause of female infertility in Chhattisgarh India

Genital tuberculosis (GTB) is one of the major causes for severtubal disease leading to infertility in developing countries. Unlike pulmonary tuberculosis, the clinical diagnosis of GTB is difficult because in majority of cases the disease is either asymptomatic or has varied clinical presentation. Routine laboratory values are of little value in the diagnosis. An absolute diagnosis cannot be made from characteristic features in hysterosalpingogram (HSG) or laparoscopy or TB-PCR. Due to the paucibacillary nature of GTB, diagnosis by mycobacterial culture and histopathological examination (HPE) have limitation and low detection rate. A combinations of test is required for the confirmation of GTB.
