Then, what
may be ideal economically affordable solutions of the problem: - i.e. difficulties
in diagnosis of Genital Kochs??
I am personally more in
favour of Lap & hysteroscopy if serious doubt exists in a given case.
Because, by doing Lap & hysteroscopy one can collect many
portions of samples from many sites(hopefully now without any environmental contamination-as happens in Mens Blood
collection) and I prefer to order following testsà All reports collectively, hopefully can
exclude / confirm the diagnosis of TB :-After removing tissues from womb or
tummy one can put such excised tissues for following investigations:
Such tests for TB are 1)
Conventional Histological diagnosis –Cornual region
biopsy -can be performed with fair degree of accuracy-Z-N stain, & Normal
saline stain AFB smear,, 2) Rapid culture-Bactec-460 in Co incubator, 3) Delayed culture-in L-J media –such growth of
bacteria in a special media will be of considerable
help to confirm initial diagnosis’ based on H/O contact with
Koch’s (particularly in close family members,) and 4) blood count :-raised TC
& Lymphocytosis (raised -level of one type of blood cells).
Firstly, No ATD based
on Menstrual blood report only:-Such blood test was very popular and still practiced all over world as because e as it is a noninvasive tests.. But I don’t consider that ATD should ever be
prescribed based on Menstrual Blood report. If there is +ve family history of
Koch’s or say H/O contact and irregular
fever, loss of wt then one can at best
advise Chest X-ray & diag Endo biopsy / Hysteroscopy &
endometrial assessment for Koch’s 1) by
Conventional,(should I call traditional)
AFB satin -Z-N Stain) ,. Culture for Koch’s bacilli includes 2) Bactec
Test; 3) Rapid &4) Delayed cultures à
followed by drug sensitivity tests which is often omitted by us. ,
