ABSTRACT

Genital tuberculosis is a major cause of infertility in women living in endemic areas. Since In-vitro fertilization (IVF) has been introduced as a treatment for infertility, congenital tuberculosis cases have been published. We report the first premature twins born with CTB after IVF in Spain and perform a literature review.
