PRIMARY TUBERCULOSIS OF BARTHOLIN'S GLANDJAMA, 84
Tuberculosis of the external female genitalia is uncommon, especially when compared to the frequency with which such infection is found in the fallopian tubes, approximately 7 per cent of which, when removed for inflammatory conditions, show tuberculosis on careful microscopic examination. When the external genitalia are tuberculous, the lesion is usually superficial, involving only the skin or mucous surfaces, or both. The vagina is relatively immune and the urethea, even in the presence of an advanced involvement of kidney and bladder, is very rarely affected. Inflammation and suppuration of Bartholin's gland is so common, and so frequently due to the gonococcus, that such a reaction is often taken as prima facie evidence of a gonorrheal infection. Infection of this gland is caused by organisms other than the gonococcus, and I have seen quite a few such examples. Marked injustice may be done any woman with Bartholinitis in making a diagnosis
