Evaluation of endometrial tuberculosis among subjects undergoing endometrial biopsy at our teritiary care centre

Background: Female genital tuberculosis (FGTB) is known to cause severe tubal disease leading to infertility and its incidence closely parallels with the overall prevalence of tuberculosis (TB) in a community. Objectives of the study: To study the prevalence of endometrial tuberculosis among the infertility subjects undergoing endometrial biopsy. Materials and Methods: Demographic data regarding age, Socioeconomic status based on the Modified Kuppuswamy scale, menstrual pattern, type of infertility, past-history of TB in any part of the body or history of TB contact (living in the same household or in frequent contact with a sputum smear positive TB patient in last 2 years). Body Mass Index/ BMI was calculated. All the subjects were evaluated for GTB by CXR, CBNAAT, USG, Culture AFB, Biopsy, and histopathological examination. Results and Discussion: We performed various investigations which include CXR, USG, CBNAAT and CS for AFB, we found that all the subjects had normal CXR, 132 had tubo-ovarian mass on USG, 36 had CBNAAT positive and culture for AFB was positive in 23 subjects.
