A rare case of transplacentally acquired tuberculosis in a 7-week-old infant presented with jaundice and enlarged organs. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for this severe form of congenital tuberculosis.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Congenital tuberculosis is a rare but severe condition transmitted from mother to fetus.
  • Early recognition is critical for effective management and improved outcomes.

Observation:

  • A 7-week-old infant presented with generalized lymphadenopathy, obstructive jaundice, and massive hepatosplenomegaly.
  • The initial clinical presentation mimicked disseminated malignancy.

Findings:

  • Pathological examination of a lymph node confirmed tuberculosis.
  • Autopsy revealed primary tuberculous foci in the liver and porta hepatis lymphadenopathy.
  • Findings were consistent with transplacentally acquired tuberculosis.

Implications:
