menotropins and Salpingitis

We describe our experience with in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment in 13 women with histologically proven genital tuberculosis.. For IVF treatment the above patients had to meet two criteria: normal uterine cavity and functional ovaries.. Six intrauterine pregnancies (28.6% success rate) were achieved after 21 IVF treatment cycles in 13 patients with histologically proven diagnoses of genital tuberculosis. This series represents a comparatively encouraging success rate, but these patients were selected carefully before committing them to IVF treatment.. IVF represents a useful treatment and improves the chances of fertility, in what was considered a desperate situation.
