Introduction: Most of the case of patient with hemoglobin disorder genes need routine blood transfusion throughout their life. It leads to increase iron accumulation with liver as the main organ for iron storage. Liver is the main organ for metabolic process, including triglyceride and cholesterol. However, correlation between metabolism of triglyceride and cholesterol, and iron overload condition is remain uncertain. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of iron overload to triglyceride and cholesterol level in the serum of mice.
Tuberculosis remains a serious health problem in pregnant women. Tuberculosis during pregnancy is related to poor perinatal outcomes, including low birth weight, insufficient growth relative to gestational age, perinatal mortality, and maternal morbidity and mortality. Additionally, diabetes mellitus in pregnant women with tuberculosis is associated with a higher risk of maternal and fetal complications such as preeclampsia, preterm birth, hypoglycemia, and giant baby. We report two perinatal outcomes of (1) pregnancy during tuberculosis treatment and (2) tuberculosis in a pregnant woman with diabetes mellitus. Both women completed anti-tuberculosis treatments. This report emphasizes the importance of health promotion through family planning among women with tuberculosis. This case report also underscores the increased risk of developing tuberculosis in pregnant women with diabetes mellitus. Early diagnosis of tuberculosis in pregnant women is vital as it affects the health of both mother and child.
