Abstract
Thirteen cases of genital tuberculosis are reported to make emphasis onto t he difficulties of diagnosis, management and prognosis of the disease. The average age of the patients is 31 years. Most of them were under 30. The ci rcumstances of diagnosis were variable. The diagnosis was essentially made thanks to histology: The evolution was favorable under antibiotics. But cli nical sequels as amenorrhea and infertility are frequent.
