“…Other possibilities of in utero transmission through hematogenous route and/or aspiration of M bovis contaminated amniotic fluid 14,15 could not be justified as there was no lesion suggestive of bTB in other vital organs, such as liver. Tuberculosis transmitted hematogenously is typically characterized by the presence of hepatic tubercles or more disseminated form of the disease, 16 while through aspiration of infected amniotic fluid, the primary tubercle could be in the lungs and/or the gut.…”

“…As described by many authors including Tomar et al the screening of mother is an essential component. A recent study by Peng et al establishes that 162 mothers had open tuberculosis throughout pregnancy or postpartum period 20 . Of them, 121 had no past history of tuberculosis before getting pregnant and were diagnosed through pregnancy.…”

“…The knowledge of a potential latent or active Mycobacterium TB infection during pregnancy is crucial. As in the case report study by Aelami et al [43], Doare et al [44], Tomar et al [35], and Chemsi et al [10], the screening of mother is an essential component. A recent study by Peng et al establishes that 162 mothers had open TB throughout pregnancy or postpartum period.…”

Tuberculosis continues to be a prevalent disease in the world and a global public health issue in many countries. The disease is more complicated in pregnant women because it imperils unborn offspring and results in congenital tuberculosis later if undiagnosed and untreated. Congenital tuberculosis is rare entity and an uncommon disease along with a high mortality rate. Congenital tuberculosis, a severe clinical type of tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is a serious and fatal disease if left untreated. Our study emphasizes that it is necessary and mandatory to consider congenital tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of neonatal or pulmonary infections in infants, essentially in countries where the incidence of tuberculosis is high burden. Mother to neonatal transmission of disease is well known via transplacental transmission through the umbilical vein to the fetus, through the ingestion of infected amniotic fluid. Early detection is challenging, because of the nonspecific nature of the signs and symptoms in tuberculosis during pregnancy and infancy. The degree of clinical suspicion is the essential component of diagnosis. Furthermore, it generally has a difficult treatment and it should not be delayed while waiting for diagnostic test results. Prompt identification and proper treatment regimens for congenital tuberculosis strongly relate with enhanced outcomes.
