The effect of an in-vitro fertilization pregnancy on a woman with genital tuberculosis

I Gull et al. Hum Reprod. 1995 Nov.

Abstract

The coexistence of an in-vitro fertilization (IVF) pregnancy and genital tuberculosis may pose life-threatening consequences. This case report describes catastrophic dissemination of latent genital tuberculosis, followed by IVF and pregnancy. The role of both IVF manipulation and the pregnancy itself in the exacerbation of latent tuberculosis is discussed. In addition, some measures for the detection, follow-up and treatment of latent genital tuberculosis in patients who undergo IVF are proposed.
