title: [Female genital tuberculosis].
abstract: Immigration from African countries has led to an increasing incidence of tuberculosis in Denmark. The immigrants from the third world have a relative high proportion of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, and we report a case of female genital tuberculosis in a woman from Somalia. Problems in diagnosing female genital tuberculosis are illustrated and discussed. Treatment and subsequent fertility are discussed.
