Abstract

Background. The issues unveiling the features of the course of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) concurrent with genital tuberculosis and their effects on fertility and pregnancy have recently become particularly relevant due to the spread of the disease outside the Mediterranean Basin. Description. Foreign and Russian studies on this topic were analyzed. The authors’ clinical example demonstrates the successful experience in recovering fertility in a 36-year-old female patient with infertility lasting 16 years. A relationship was found between long-term pelvic inflammatory diseases and the development of hyperplastic processes and ectopic pregnancy. Conclusion. The phenotypic heterogeneity of FMF, comorbidity, and low compliance are the reasons for delayed diagnosis and restoration of fertility.
