Genital tuberculosis and subsequent fertility.
A successful pregnancy ending in live birth at term is very rare following genital tuberculosis, in spite of effective medical treatment for tuberculosis. The medical, surgical or combined treatments all are associated with relatively poor fertility outcome. In vitro fertilization and embryo replacement have been found to be successful in a few patients.
