Abstract
Genital tuberculosis is a common cause of female infertility in India. But, it is
important to screen for other agents like Chlamydia trachomatis and genital
Mycoplasmas as well to avoid persistence of infection and its long-term
sequelae. Timely diagnosis of these infections using nucleic acid amplifi cation
tests and institution of appropriate therapy will improve the conception rates in
infertile women. We report a case of co-infection of Mycoplasma genitalium and
Chlamydia trachomatis in an infertile female patient with genital tuberculosis.
The infections were diagnosed using polymerase chain reaction, and the patient
responded to a combination of antituberculosis therapy and 1 g single-dose
Azithromycin.
