ABSTRACT
One hundred and thirty six women with genital tuberculosis received combined antibacterial treatment (ABT) with adjuvant physiotherapy. The patients were divided into three groups: patients of group 1 had active genital tuberculosis treated with ABT plus electrophoresis of 3% sodium thiosulphate, group 2 had chronic tuberculous process treated with ABT plus ultrasound hydrocortisone therapy, group 3 received ABT alone. The findings demonstrate that noticeable improvement and reduction of treatment duration were observed in groups 1 and 2.

The paper presents the specific features of diagnosis and clinical course of genital tuberculosis under the present conditions. It shows it expedient to make a differential diagnosis of genital tuberculosis in 2 steps: 1) the use of the routine examination and 2) the study of specific antituberculous immunity. Genital tuberculosis risk groups to be obligatorily examined at a specialized tuberculosis control facility are identified. The specific features of the clinical course of genital tuberculosis, such as aptness to exudative processes, a combination with extragenital tuberculosis and hormonally depended gynecological diseases are noted. Indications for and efficiency of endosurgical interventions in genital tuberculosis are shown.
