Congenital tuberculosis after in vitro fertilization: suggestion for tuberculosis tests in infertile women in developing countries

“…3 However, since the usefulness of in vitro fertilization (IVF) in TB-caused infertility was demonstrated in 1985, IVF has become a popular treatment for infertile women. 4,5 Genital TB, as a common cause of infertility, was detected in up to 60% of infertile women in a recent investigation in India. 3 However, TB tests are not routine before IVF.…”

Effects of salpingectomy and antituberculosis treatments on fertility results in patients with genital tuberculosis

“…Pelvic‐tuberculosis‐related infertility is a major problem in assisted reproductive techniques (ART). IVF and embryo transfer have been used with some success in pelvic TB after adequate treatment with either spontaneous or ART pregnancy rates showing a wide range of 4–59.8% . We have compared clinical pregnancy rates and reported higher clinical pregnancy rates in group 1, even though it failed to reach a statistically significant level (37.5%, 12/32 vs 23.8%, 5/21; P = 0.306).…”

“…Initial medical therapy, which is a multidrug approach consisting of isoniazid, rifampicin, streptomycin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol, was performed similar to pulmonary TB and was given for a period of 6–24 months . In our study, patients were treated with antituberculosis therapy for 6 months or 12 months after which clinical pregnancy rates, and take‐home baby rates were compared between the groups.…”

“…Female genital TB is treated with the same long‐term, combined drug therapy used for pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis, although criteria for assessing the effectiveness of this therapy are lacking . Favorable outcomes have been reported either after spontaneous conception or with conventional IVF procedures on infertile patients diagnosed with genital TB post antituberculosis treatment …”
