title: [Diagnostic values of polymerase chain reaction test in females with genital tuberculosis].
abstract: The previously offered procedure for detecting. Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which is based on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), has been tested for diagnosing genital tuberculosis in females. PCR was used to examine endometrial curettage specimens in 44 patients with different nosological entities, which showed a high sensitivity (80%) and a high specificity in the diagnosis of genital tuberculosis.
