The incidence of genital tuberculosis is not the same in different parts of ·world. It de­pends on the incidence of tuberculosis of other organs specially lungs in the area. In India the incidence is very high, but in U.S.A. and Germany it is very low. In our country the patients refer mostly from the north and north­west.  5'7<- to 1W'/<- of sterile patients have genital tuberculosis. Sterility is usually the main com-plaint of these patients when th€y search medi­cal advice. This disease affects the tubes easily.  In laboratory diagnosis the culture of the en­dcmetrial tissue and menstrual blood is very important. Patohlogy and Radiology help a great deal to make the correct diagnosis.  In our review we followed 400 sterile pati­ents of whom 40 had genital tuberculosis (10%).
