[Clinico-morphological manifestations of genital tuberculosis in women].

Surgical material from 35 female patients with genital tuberculosis is analyzed. 57.1% of patients with clear-cut clinical symptoms showed tubercles and caseous foci. In other patients no specific pathology was found histologically. This condition can be called as a non-active tuberculosis if clinicoepidemyologic data and laboratory studies support diagnosis of tuberculosis. Natural evolution of the specific inflammation and its trend to fibrosis facilitate the development of secondary infection. In this respect tuberculosis of female genitalia resembles pulmonary tuberculosis.
