Vibrio vulnificus most frequently causes wound infections contracted after exposure to seawater or primary septicemias resulting from the consumption of raw oysters. We report a case of endometritis caused by V. vulnificus. The infection was apparently acquired during the act of sexual intercourse in seawater in an area in which V. vulnificus has been frequently isolated. The efficacy of treatm...

Tuberculous liver abscesses are rare. Paradoxical response in tuberculosis is common and occurred between 2 weeks and 12 weeks after anti-tuberculous medication. We report here a case of tuberculous liver abscess that developed in a paradoxical response during chemotherapy for tuberculous peritonitis in a 23-year-old male. He was hospitalized, complaining of ascites, epigastric pain. He was dia...

Tuberculosis remains a global health problem, primarily in developing countries with inadequate health services. A significant portion of tuberculosis in these settings is extrapulmonary, including tuberculosis of the genitourinary tract. Patients with genital tuberculosis are usually young women detected during work up for infertility. After menopause, tuberculosis of the endometrium is a rare...

Subphrenic abscess though a common presentation itself encountered in surgical practice due to various cause, tubercular subphrenic the absence of coexisting tuberculous abdomen presenting as complication pulmonary tuberculosis is extremely rare. Only very few cases have been reported an extrapulmonary manifestation so far. We report case isolated sub-diaphragmatic which responded well with ant...

The presence of more than 2 cm (height) of uterine fluid during estrus seems to be a predictor of susceptibility to postbreeding endometritis.

BACKGROUND Tuberculosis kills five lakh patients every year in India, commonest being pulmonary tuberculosis and is often associated with effusion. Delay in diagnosis and treatment results in poor prognosis. Several studies have suggested the role of adenosine deaminase (ADA) in the diagnosis of tuberculous pleural effusions, but false-positive results from lymphocytic effusions have also been ...

Chronic endometritis (CE) is a condition involving the breakdown of the peaceful co-existence between microorganisms and the host immune system in the endometrium. A majority of CE cases produce no noticeable signs or mild symptoms, and the prevalence rate of CE has been found to be approximately 10%. Gynecologists and pathologists often do not focus much clinical attention on CE due to the tim...

Samples from the uterus have mainly been used for diagnosing infertility and endometritis by bacterial culture 4, 5 , cytology 6,5 and histology. 7 The combined use of cytology and bacteriology as an aid to the diagnosis of endometritis was initially proposed more than 20 years ago. 8 The finding of polymorph nuclear cells (PMN ́s) in a sample shows the mare is suffering from an endometrial infl...

we carried out prospective study on 121 cases of cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis during a 5-years period (1990-1995) in order to determine the correlation between clinical, histological and microbiological finding in establishing the tuberculous lymphadenitis diagnosis. biopsy was done in 96 cases, of which 93 specimens (96%) were compatible with tuberculous lymphadenitis, with 17 cases posi...
