title: Infertility Due to Genital Tuberculosis
abstract: Tuberculosis is one of the commonest causes of infertility in underdeveloped countries. In the U.S.A. and developed countries it is one of the rarest causes of infertility. In this presentation, a woman with primary infertility is discussed. This patient was diagnosed by laparoscopic examination and culture of tubercles and peritoneal fluids. She was found to have extensive genital and intraperitoneal tuberculosis. The tubercles were covering the viscera so extensively that identity of intraabdominal organs was impossible. Antituberculous treatment almost completely resolved the condition.
