Congenital Tuberculosis -A Rare Form of Tuberculosis
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
Congenital tuberculosis is a rare but fatal condition if left untreated. Considering the high incidence of maternal TB, cases of congenital TB have been largely under-reported. This may be because TB in the neonate more often has nonspecific or unusual presentations and their mothers are seldom symptomatic. In the absence of an associated history of maternal TB, it is difficult to diagnose clinically and commence timely treatment. This is the case report of infant with congenital tuberculosis with secondary bacterial infection which is diagnosed very early at the age of 1 month and treated accordingly with ATD and antibiotics. Our case also highlights the importance of taking a detailed history from patients.
