“…Increased national TB burden of immigrants or refugees are inescapable public health challenges (10). In South Korea, the proportion of foreigners among newly diagnosed TB patients continues to rise from 2.5% in 2011 to 6.9% in 2016, (11) which is similar to the prevalence in Japan, another developed country in East Asia (12). Therefore, maternal screening for TB following delivery of unexplained premature infants may be necessary.…”

“…However, the peculiarities of TB in pregnancy include the frequent absence of typical respiratory symptoms and the delay in diagnosis due to reluctance to undergo radiographic examination [ 8 ], as well as pregnancy itself may mimic and thus mask the early symptoms of Mtb infection such as fatigue and tachypnea [ 9 ], that aggravates the difficulties in diagnosing TB in pregnancy. Considering it was reported that placental infection is one of the effective manners for the acquisition of congenital TB by the neonate [ 10 , 11 ], TB during pregnancy not only affects the physical and mental health of pregnant women but also affects the growth of the fetus [ 9 , 12 , 13 ]. Hence, TB pregnancy-specific diagnosis might provide additional valuable information for clinicians to analyze the intrauterine condition of the fetus.…”

Background The study of pathologic diagnosis of placental TB is rare. The aim of this study is analyzing the pathomorphological characteristics of tuberculosis (TB) placenta during pregnancy and its clinical significance. Methods Nineteen cases of placental tissue specimens during pregnancy were collected from June 2015 to February 2022 at Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center, the only inpatient center for pregnant women with TB in Shanghai, China. Hematoxylin-eosin staining, acid-fast staining, and molecular testing were applied to analyze them comprehensively in combination with clinical information. Results Among the 19 cases, 7 cases caused intrauterine stillbirth, 3 cases received artificial abortion required by the pregnant woman, the other 9 cases received standard delivery and the infants survived, however, 3 of them were low-weight preterm infants, and another 1 case suffered mild intrauterine asphyxia. The 9 surviving infants were followed-up, of which 3 cases got congenital TB. For pathological characteristics of placental tissues under light microscopy, there were 3 cases of epithelioid granuloma formation, 13 cases of acute fetal membranitis, 4 cases of caseous necrosis, 7 cases of inflammatory necrosis, 10 cases of coagulative necrosis, and 6 cases with small focal calcifications. All placental tissues were positive for acid-fast staining and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Molecular pathological diagnosis showed that 18 cases were positive for Mycobacterium tuberculosis, with 1 case not having received examination. Conclusions Combining acid-fast staining and molecular pathological testing is helpful for accurately diagnosing placental TB.
