Abstract

Twenty women, suffering from infertility due to histologically proved genital tuberculosis, were managed by in vitro fertilization (IVF) in 49 attempts. The main histopathological lesions were tuberculous salpingitis in 12 women, tuberculous endometritis in 5, and pelvic peritoneal tuberculosis in 3. A preliminary evaluation including, particularly, a laparoscopy and a hysteroscopy was performed. Five deliveries and one ongoing pregnancy were obtained. The results suggest that IVF nowadays represents the only treatment for tuberculous infertility.
