We undertook this review in order to determine its incidence among infertile women in the Nigerian middle belt. This is a retrospective study of all histopathological slides of infertile women seen at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin, Nigeria, between 1997 and 2004 who were evaluated for infertility by endometrial biopsy. The slides were reviewed and, where necessary, new sections were cut from tissue blocks and stained with haematoxylin and eosin. Ziehl\u2013Neelsen stain used to demonstrate acid-fast bacilli. Clinical reports were extracted from histopathological request form. A total of 661 patients were included in the study. Primary infertility constituted 30%, secondary 69% and unspecified cases 1%. TB endometritis was seen in 0.45%. Endometrial TB is not a frequent cause of infertility in our set-up. However, with the worldwide resurgence of TB, its possible presence should always be taken into consideration. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1258\/td.2007.052090","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,2,20]],"date-time":"2008-02-20T01:54:14Z","timestamp":1203472454000},"page":"3-4","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Endometrial tuberculosis in the Nigerian middle belt: an eight-year review"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"38","author":[{"given":"B A","family":"Ojo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Pathology Department, Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences, College of Medicine, University of Ilorin"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A A","family":"Akanbi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Microbiology and Parasitology and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M S","family":"Odimayo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Microbiology and Parasitology and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A K","family":"Jimoh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chemical Pathology and Immunology, University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,1,1]]},"reference":[{"unstructured":"WHO.
