Screening for genital tuberculosis in a limited resource country: case report.

CONCLUSION: Young females with abdominopelvic mass, ascites, a positive family history for tuberculosis and high serum cancer antigen 125, should always raise suspicion of tuberculosis especially in a limited resource country. A laparoscopy combined with peritoneal biopsy should be performed to confirm the diagnosis as this could lead to a prevention of unnecessary laparotomies. PMID: 28173770 [PubMed - in process]
