[Iatrogenic provocation in female genital tuberculosis free of symptoms].

Clinical symptoms of the disease are: sterility, relapsing, adnexitis, chronic peritonitis or perimetritis, primary or secundary lack of menstruation, even spontaneous abortion with fever and tubal pregnancy. Any kind of physicotherapy causing hyperaemia or congestion, surgery or sexual hormontherapy may enhance local exacerbation even spread of the disease. Congestion may further enhance the growth of bacteria by supplying more oxygen, and the sex hormones are incorporated by them. These circumstances influence the pathogenesis in a particular manner. The iatrogen provocation can prevented by profilactic antituberculous care. Lack of the mentioned prevention results to local progression, exsudat, fistulas, severe adhaesions, which cannot be solved by surgery. The iatrogen damages can only be prevented if gynecologists and phthysiologists cooperate.
