Flare-up of genital tuberculosis following endometrial aspiration in a patient of generalized miliary tuberculosis.
Archives of Gynecology and Obstetrics 2009 September
INTRODUCTION: Genital tuberculosis is often neglected by health-care providers, but is an important cause of significant morbidity for the affected women.
CASE REPORT: We report a rare case of tuberculosis (TB) flare in a 28-year-old nulliparous woman following endometrial aspiration (EA), which drained 30 ml pus. Following this, she developed high-grade fever with pain abdomen, guarding and rigidity. PCR was positive for mycobacterium and histopathology showed necrotizing granulomatous endometritis. She also showed features of genitourinary TB and chronic tubercular meningitis and was started on antitubercular therapy.
CONCLUSION: To conclude, EA requires concern and a higher precision in the diagnosis of this insidious disease that primarily necessitates a clinical awareness of this serious health problem, to prevent such flare-up of TB. The clinician should be aware that isolation of TB requires special methods and this diagnosis should be considered while dealing with patients born in countries with high prevalence of TB.
