The case report highlights the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion for treatable causes of tubo-ovarian mass such as genitourinary tuberculosis despite the presence of a high blood level of CA-125, especially in countries with high background prevalence of tuberculosis. In a patient from a country with high background prevalence of both tuberculosis and human immune deficiency v...

Genitourinary tuberculosis is one of the common forms of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. We report a case of atypical genitourinary tuberculosis: massive uterovaginal prolapse with cervical lesion mimicking cervical carcinoma. This particular case highlights the problem of healthcare in most of the developing countries. Lack of patient education, awareness, and access to a healthcare system result...

BACKGROUND Genitourinary tuberculosis is the third most common form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Diagnosis is difficult because of unspecific clinical manifestations and low accuracy of conventional tests. Unfortunately, the delayed diagnosis impacts the urinary tract severely. Nucleic acid amplification tests yield fast results, and among these, new technologies can also detect drug resista...
