Objectives: To study the prevalence of male and female genital tuberculosis in Indian infertile couples as detected by semen polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and endometrial PCR and to study the correlation of semen TB PCR with endometrial TB PCR of sexual partner. Design: Noncomparative retrospective observational series. Patients: A total of 100 couples presenting with infertility at clinic were enrolled after obtaining informed consent. Interventions: All couples were tested for mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) by nested PCR on the semen and the endometrial sample. The results of PCR of sexual partners were mutually correlated. Results: Out of 108 couples, 56 males and 52 females had positive PCR in the sample of semen and the endometrium. Also, 30 couples simultaneously had both semen PCR and endometrial PCR positive. Conclusion: Addition of PCR tests to the routine clinical and laboratory assessments may add to the detection of subclinical urogenital infection and the timely evaluation of the asymptomatic partner of the infected person can improve the early detection of a silent but potentially devastating infection.
