Short course chemotherapy for endometrial tuberculosis in infertile women.
A daily regimen of rifampicin (450 mg) and isoniazid (300 mg) was tried for 9 months in 14 women with histologically diagnosed endometrial tuberculosis (TB). Follow-up endometrial biopsies were negative for tubercular disease in all patients. Three (21.4%) of the 14 women conceived between 3 and 12 months after starting treatment.
