The detection of endometrial tuberculosis in cases of infertility by uterine aspiration cytology.

The cytology and histopathology of tuberculous endometritis are described in eight cases found among 200 women who presented with primary or secondary infertility. Because tuberculous endometritis is considered a possible cause of such sterility, the combination of endometrial aspiration and biopsy is recommended as an outpatient screening technique in such cases in areas where the rate of endometrial tuberculosis is high.
