Evaluation Of Incidence And Clinical Characteristics Of Genital Tuberculosis In Central Bihar, India
Main Article Content
Abstract
Morbidity and mortality are substantially impacted by genital tuberculosis. The lack of distinct symptoms and clinical characteristics in patients with genital tuberculosis poses a significant clinical challenge in terms of early detection and management. The current research investigated the incidence and assessment of clinical characteristics of genital tuberculosis in Central Bihar, India. The research was conducted from January 22 to April 23 in different parts of Begusarai district, Central Bihar, India, following the application of inclusion and exclusion criteria to 342 subjects. The patient classification for this investigation is predicated on their clinical history and symptoms. The patients are further classified based on the results of their pathological examination into two groups - symptomatic and asymptomatic. The highest percentage of incidence is asymptomatic clinically strong suspected i.e., 36.3%. The current investigation identifies the total incidence of tuberculosis in 45 (13.1%) patients as positive, of which 25 (17.2%) are female and 20 (10.8%) are male out of 342 patients. Due to comparatively lower standards of living and poorer personal hygiene, the percentage of genital tuberculosis incidence in developing countries is high. Tuberculosis at any stage cannot be diagnosed with a single test at this time. Thus, a substantial amount of radiological and pathological investigation, as well as clinical history have constituted the majority of the diagnostic process.
