Abstract

Tuberculosis remains a worrying public health problem. But if pulmonary tuberculosis's symptomatology is well known by the medical profession, this is not the case of genital tuberculosis. We take advantage of a case of vaginal tuberculosis to review the international literature about clinical diagnosis, further tests, and treatment of this extremely rare tuberculosis localization.

Keywords: extrapulmonary tuberculosis; genital tuberculosis; tubal infertility; vaginal tuberculosis.
