Abstract
Genital tuberculosis of women is part of extra pulmonary forms of tuberculosis. It is an uncommon disease in developed countries, but remains endemic in developing countries. The causative agent is, in most cases, Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Genital tuberculosis is a cause of infertility. The definitive diagnosis is made by biology or histology. Because this affection is paucibacillary, these tests may be falsely negative; In fact, diagnosis can then be focused on radiological, endoscopic and nosological arguments.
Author Keywords: primary amenorrhea, extrapulmonary tuberculosis, synechia.
