To study the prevalence of genital tuberculosis in the patients who have history of recurrent abortion by identifying mycobacterial DNA with polymerase chain reaction in endometrial curettage samples after evacuation of retained products of conception. In this study we studied 50 patients who had history of recurrent abortion admitted with concurrent abortion; incomplete/missed. After evacuation of retained production of conception endometrial curettage samples saved in normal saline and investigated for mycobacterium by PCR technique. In results Out of the 50 patients investigated 12 were positive for mycobacterium by PCR and rests were negative. In conclusion Genital tuberculosis may be one of the causes of recurrent abortion. Female genital tuberculosis is a paucibacillary disease and if detected earlier and treated can improve conception rate and live birth rate significantly. So this is an important finding and it should be further investigated.
