Perinatal tuberculosis is rare and difficult to diagnose, often missed without high suspicion. Early detection and screening of at-risk mothers are crucial for managing this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Neonatology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Perinatal tuberculosis (TB) remains poorly understood, with limited case reports even in high-incidence regions.
  • Accurate diagnosis of perinatal TB requires a high index of clinical suspicion to avoid delays.

Observation:

  • This report details one case of congenital tuberculosis and three cases of perinatal tuberculosis.
  • The study highlights challenges encountered during the investigation and management of these cases.

Findings:

  • Congenital tuberculosis is distinct from early postnatal acquisition, primarily for epidemiological insights.
  • The presented cases underscore diagnostic and therapeutic complexities in perinatal TB.

Implications:
