    Area of Science:

    • Neonatal Medicine
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Congenital tuberculosis is rare and incidence varies with maternal tuberculosis prevalence.
    • Maternal tuberculosis is a primary risk factor for congenital transmission.

    Observation:

    • A case of congenital tuberculosis in a premature neonate is presented.
    • The neonate's mother was diagnosed with miliary tuberculosis post-delivery.
    • The neonate presented with gradual onset sepsis-like symptoms.

    Findings:

    • Mycobacterium tuberculosis was identified in the neonate's gastric fluids.
    • The neonate showed an excellent response to antituberculosis treatment.
    • Congenital tuberculosis should be suspected in neonates with unexplained sepsis.

    Implications:

    • Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are vital for improving neonatal survival rates in congenital tuberculosis.
    • This case highlights the importance of considering congenital tuberculosis in neonates presenting with sepsis of unknown origin.
    • Awareness among healthcare providers is essential for timely intervention.
