Abstract
|
|
|
Perinatal tuberculosis has been relatively rare; less than 300 cases have been reported in the worldwide medical literature and can be either truly congenital or truly neonatal. True congenital tuberculosis can be acquired infection via the
umbilical
cord or amniotic fluid.
We reported a case of congential tuberculosis in a 21 day old male neonate whose mother was diagnosed as miliary tuberculosis for the first time on the 12th days after normal full-term delivery at local clinic. He was admitted due to fever,
productive
cough and intermittent cyanosis (PaO2-55.5mmHg at room air) and confirmed by chest radiograph, high resolution computerized tomograph of the chest, and AFB stain and culture of gastric aspiration fluid. He was successfully treated with
conservative
care, ventilator, antituberculosis drugs and prednisolone, and showed normal growth and development on 10 month follow up
