prevalence continues to increase because of the poor socioeconomic conditions of the population. Tuberculosis in pregnant woman is an association that many times is not diagnosed. The case was reported of a patient with 28 weeks (gestational age) and diagnosed with active pulmonary tuberculosis. We discussed the diagnostic approach for tuberculosis during pregnancy as well as the treatment and its side effects on these patients. Cesarean section was performed at 37 weeks. In this case, neonatal tuberculosis diagnosis was negative. Recently published literature about tuberculosis and pregnancy was reviewed. |
