ABSTRACT
Tuberculosis of the vagina is very rare disease reported to be involved in less than 1% of female genital tuberculosis. A 53-year-old woman presented with abnormal cervicographic finding at the private clinic. On vaginal physical examination, there were multiple elevated nodular lesion in the vagina and ectocervical area. There was no abnormal vessels or acetowhite epithelium on colposcopic examination. Direct biopsy for histologic examination revealed granulomatous lesion. We performed PCR of mycobacterial DNA and Ziehl-Neelsen staining for acid-fast bacilli (AFB). The Ziehl-Neelsen staining for AFB was negative, but mycobacterial DNA fragments were detected using the PCR method. Diagnosis was confirmed by the detection of acid-fast bacilli in histologic preparations. Anti-tuberculosis medication was effective for this patient.
