    AbstractI describe a case of endometrial tuberculosis acquired by a microbiologist while she was working in a clinical laboratory. Granulomatous endometritis was found, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis was isolated. Respiratory tract exposure from a faulty exhaust hood is the likely source of infection. Endometrial tuberculosis and laboratory-acquired infections are briefly discussed.
