Tuberculosis is resurging, especially in urban areas among young people, linked to HIV and drug resistance. This review covers diagnosing and treating tuberculosis in pregnant women, including universal screening benefits.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Obstetrics

Background:

  • Tuberculosis (TB) cases declined after mid-century chemotherapy but have risen since 1986.
  • The resurgence is concentrated in urban areas, associated with increased human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and drug resistance.
  • Pregnant women are a vulnerable population at risk for TB infection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the diagnosis and treatment of asymptomatic and active tuberculosis in pregnant women.
  • To address the need for universal screening of all prenatal patients.
  • To discuss the benefits and potential perinatal toxicity of chemotherapy in pregnant women, including those with HIV.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on tuberculosis diagnosis and treatment in pregnancy.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Analysis of current trends in TB incidence, HIV co-infection, and drug resistance.
  • Evaluation of screening strategies and chemotherapy safety in pregnant populations.

    • Main Results:

    • Tuberculosis is reemerging as a significant public health concern.
    • HIV infection and drug resistance are key factors in TB's resurgence.
    • Effective methods exist for identifying and treating asymptomatic TB in pregnant women.

    Conclusions:

    • Universal screening for tuberculosis in pregnant women is recommended.
    • Treatment of TB in pregnancy requires careful consideration of chemotherapy benefits and potential perinatal risks.
    • Management strategies must address both immunocompetent and HIV-infected pregnant individuals.
