She received anti-tuberculosis (TB) treatment 10 yr prior. In vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection were carried out in our institute. Then, she underwent a laparoscopic salpingectomy due to bilateral hydrosalpinx and a frozen embryo was transferred, which led to pregnancy and a healthy child.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> It was concluded that IVF and frozen embryo transfer provides treatment for tubal TB with a receptive endometrium. Laparoscopic salpingectomy prior to embryo transfer plays a critical role in predicting the occurrence of a pregnancy in a patient with hydrosalpingitis attributed to TB.</p> <p><em><strong>Key words:</strong> In vitro fertilization, Embryo transfer, Female genital tuberculosis, Salpingitis.</em></p&gt;}, number={6}, journal={International Journal of Reproductive BioMedicine (IJRM)}, author={Ghaffari, Firouzeh and Miralaie, Shokouholsadat and Chekini, Zahra and Faridi, Maziar}, year={2020}, month={Jul.}, pages={471–476} }
