description This case report describes the evaluation and management of a 32-year-old woman who presented shortly after a fetal demise at 23 weeks of gestation with multiple symptoms, including bloody vaginal discharge. Although the initial diagnostic concern was for metastatic malignancy, the patient was ultimately determined to have disseminated tuberculosis.

This report highlights the relationship between pregnancy-reactivated tuberculosis, and guides clinicians on diagnostic and management considerations in the peripartum period.
