Abstract
|
|
|
|
Although miliary tuberculosis is uncommon during pregnancy. it is often associated with a maternal history of intravenous drug abuse, malignancy, alcoholism, or human immunodeficiency virus infection, and it is difficult to diagnose when associated with pregnancy. There is no solid evidence that pregnancy has an adverse effect on tuberculosis, thus routine therapeutic abortion is not indicated. If the early diagnosis and promptly adequate chemotherapy was done, the outcome of pregnancy in a women with miliary tuberculosis is likely to be good. Recently we have experienced a case of miliary tuberculosis at 20 weeks gestation without any risk factors of tuberculosis. So we report this case with a brief review of literature.
