Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Infectious Diseases
  • Neonatal Surgery
  • Tuberculosis Research

Background:

  • Congenital tuberculosis is a rare manifestation of maternal tuberculosis.
  • Miliary tuberculosis involves disseminated infection, posing significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges in neonates.
  • Intestinal perforations in preterm infants are critical surgical emergencies.

Observation:

  • A male preterm neonate presented with clinical signs suggestive of disseminated tuberculosis.
  • The infant exhibited multiple intestinal perforations, a life-threatening complication.
  • Diagnostic workup confirmed congenital miliary tuberculosis.

Findings:

  • The neonate underwent successful surgical repair of intestinal perforations.
  • Antituberculosis chemotherapy was initiated and completed.
  • Comprehensive supportive therapy was administered, contributing to recovery.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering congenital miliary tuberculosis in preterm infants with gastrointestinal complications.
  • Successful management highlights the efficacy of a combined approach involving surgery and chemotherapy.
  • Further research into early diagnostic markers and optimized treatment protocols for neonatal tuberculosis is warranted.
