    Area of Science:

    • Neonatal Medicine
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Congenital tuberculosis is a rare but severe infection transmitted from mother to fetus.
    • Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for infant survival.
    • This case involves a premature infant presenting with respiratory insufficiency.

    Observation:

    • A 35-week gestational age infant developed fever and respiratory distress on day 17 of life.
    • Chest X-rays revealed rapidly progressing lung infiltrates unresponsive to antibiotics.
    • The infant required mechanical ventilation and ultimately died at 35 days of age.

    Findings:

    • Autopsy confirmed congenital tuberculosis as the cause of death.
    • Maternal examination revealed severe endometrial tuberculosis, suggesting the source of infection.
    • Tracheal cultures were sterile, and Ziehl-Neelsen stains were not performed.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the diagnostic challenges of congenital tuberculosis.
    • It emphasizes the need for heightened clinical suspicion in neonates with unexplained respiratory symptoms.
    • Reviewing transmission, pathology, clinical presentation, prophylaxis, and therapy is essential for preventing similar outcomes.
