Evaluation of molecular and bacteriological detection methods performed on the formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded biopsy samples collected from endometrial and lymph node tuberculosis suspected patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Endometrial Tuberculosis is one of the most common gynecological problems known to have serious implications for the quality of life like infertility. The commonly practiced histopathology solely relies on the suggestive feature of Tuberculosis (TB) with low specificity. Regarding the alternative bacteriological and molecular detection tools, little evidence was generated on their utility in the diagnosis of endometrial tuberculosis in Ethiopia. Therefore, we aim to investigate the detection rate of molecular and bacteriological detection methods on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded biopsy samples for the diagnosis of endometrial and lymph node TB.

Methods

A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted on 90 formalin fixed paraffin embedded biopsy samples from
