Maternal Tuberculosis Leading to Congenital Tuberculosis: A Case Report

In India, tuberculosis (TB) is a severe public health concern. We report a case of a 45-day male baby who had respiratory distress and fever, whose mother was diagnosed with pulmonary TB infection prior to delivery which was confirmed by a positive Cartridge-Based Nucleic Amplification Test (CBNAAT)...

description In India, tuberculosis (TB) is a severe public health concern. We report a case of a 45-day male baby who had respiratory distress and fever, whose mother was diagnosed with pulmonary TB infection prior to delivery which was confirmed by a positive Cartridge-Based Nucleic Amplification Test (CBNAAT) from the sputum and was on antitubercular therapy (ATT). Due to the symptoms, signs, and maternal TB history, congenital TB was strongly suspected. A positive CBNAAT result from the gastric lavage further supported this suspicion. This case emphasizes the value of obtaining details on the mother's TB history to aid in the early diagnosis of congenital TB and expedite the treatment and prognosis.
