Laboratory Confirmation of TB in Female genital organs is very difficult.

What  doctors  can do: At this juncture i.e. -when clinical / presumed diagnosis is very strong??-1) Firstly,   to use barrier method if seriously considers Koch’s from history. To ask the couple to use barrier contraceptives till the ATD course is completed or diagnosis of TB is excluded with reasonable certainty.

2) If one have doubt one should not hesitant to proceed for Lap-Hysteroscopy (an endoscopy procedure under anesthesia & peritoneal/ Lymph node biopsy (because pick up rate of Koch’s seems very high-if hysteroscopy or Laparoscopy is done . This is an important means of documentation prior to initiation of ATD).
