Genital tuberculosis: A rare cause of vulvovaginal discharge and swelling
Journal Title: Journal of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Herein, we report a patient with vulvovaginal tuberculosis (TB) presented with a vulvovaginal mass and vaginal discharge. The diagnosis was made by both histopathological examination of the excised specimen which was clinically suspected to be a malignant lesion and cervical smear culture positivity for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The patient was prescribed a full course of anti-tuberculous drugs. In this report, we discuss the genital TB and its gynecological effects in the light of medical literature. J Microbiol Infect Dis 2013; 3(3): 140-142 Key words: Genital tuberculosis, vulvovaginal swelling
