Abstract

Genitourinary tuberculosis was the second most common form (30%) of extrapulmonary tuberculosis after peripheral lymphadenopathy. We reported a case of tuberculosis of the cervix and endometrium presented with secondary amenorrhoea and infertility. The diagnosis was based on histological examination. Despite tuberculosis treatment, she did not gain back her menses.
