What Does AURO-TB-PCR Indicate?
hi,
i had an ectopic pregnancy , followed by surgery to remove my left fallopian tube(which got bursted during 5th week of ectopic pregnancy).my gynae got performed biopsy on sections from the ruptured fallopian tube, and the results were-wall congested(A , B)
Microscopic examination showed vascular congestion with presence of trophoblastic tssues in tubal wall and chronic villi in lumen.
also they performed AURO-TB-PCR-1 test on the ruptured fallopian tube- which came positive.
Now i am really concerned, as i want to conceive again, as i am alreay 35 yrs and don't want to delay further.
first thing i would like to know about the accuracy of AURO-TB-PCR-1 test, secondly,what are the chances of my other tube to have same problem.
thirdly, is it really important to get this treated, if i drop my plan to conceive again.
Normally i don't have any symptoms of TB,so i don't understand how it has come positive.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.
TB PCR is quite accurate test. Its highly sensitive and highly specific.So no doubts regarding that. Your secind tube may have chances of TB. We can not say exactly in percentage but there is definite chance. Moreover you should take treatment for that evenif you have no plan to conceive. Many times tuberculosis of fallopian tube has no other symptoms. Only present with infertility or ectopic pregnancy. So if you don't have any symptoms doesn't mean that you dont have tuberculosis.
You should consult your gynecologist and take treatment accordingly.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
