  18. FINAL DIAGNOSIS • Pathologic Diagnosis: Non-caseating Granulomas • Presumed Clinical Diagnosis: Tuberculosis of the Female Genital Tract

  19. Hospital Course and Follow-up • The patient had a GI and GYN workup for malignancy. • Her EGD showed: • Normal esophagus. Atrophic mucosa in antrum. Normal dudodenum. • Negative Helicobacter pylori. • Pathology: chronic mildly active gastritis with extensive metaplasia.

  20. Hospital course and Follow-up • The patient had an exploratory laparotomy • Evidence of miliary disease • Bilateral oopherectomy and hysterectomy • Pathology: Non-caseating granulomas. (AFB -) • Tuberculosis versus Sarcoidosis • 6 month course of IRPE 6 given for presumed tuberculosis of the female genital tract

  21. Epidemiology of Tuberculosis of the Genital Tract • Common in underdeveloped nations • Most affected woman are in the reproductive age-group • In Guyana*, • 900 new cases of active tb per year • estimated annual rate of infection is 3.2% • estimated 14% of the population is infected *World TB report 2005

  22. Pathogenesis of Miliary Tuberculosis Bacilli in the air (droplet nuclei) inhaled Replication in dependant lobe: primary focus Early lymphohematogenous spread Latent Foci TB lymphadentis, Miliary Tuberculosis

  23. Abdominal pain Pelvic pain Ascites Diarrhea Infertility Weight loss Amenorrhea or irregular menses Fever Anemia Elevated CA-125 Clinical Presentation and laboratory data of Tuberculosis of the Genital Tract

  24. Making the Diagnosis of Tuberculosis of the Genital Tract • Laparoscopically directed biopsy • Premenstrual endometrial tissue biopsy • Histologic and PCR tests of peritoneal fluid, menstrual blood culture • Exploratory laparotomy

  25. Radiographic Features of Tuberculosis

  26. Treatment of Tuberculosis of the Genital Tract • Similar to treatment for TB at extrapulmonary sites. • A 6-mo regimen • 2 months of isoniazid, rifampin, and pyrazinamide • 4 months of isoniazid and rifampin • Ethambutol should be used until the results of drug susceptibility studies are available, unless there is little possibility of drug resistance
