Utility of PCR in the Diagnosis of Female Genital Tuberculosis [PDF]
Journal of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2014 Genital tuberculosis (GTB) is one of the major causes of infertility among females. Since the infection is asymptomatic in most of the cases, it makes the clinical diagnosis quite difficult. We report a case of a 24 years old female with infertility that
