Tuberculosis in Pregnancy

Summary

  • Tuberculosis (TB) can cause significant morbidity in the pregnant woman and the foetus.

  • Pregnant women (and their families) should be screened for TB according to risk.

  • The benefits of treating active TB in pregnancy dramatically outweigh any potential drug toxicity.

  • In most cases, proper diagnosis and treatment of TB during pregnancy yield good maternal and foetal outcomes.
