Abstract:
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease of which congenital TB is a rare form even in TB-endemic countries such as India. There are very few case reports of the same in the literature. Though the incidence rate of congenital TB is low, mortality rates are very high. Here, we report a case of a 2-day-old neonate who presented to Pediatrics Accident and Emergency with complaints of fast breathing and swelling all over the body. The baby had swelling all over the body and subcutaneous edema suggestive of hydrops fetalis. She was investigated and subsequently diagnosed to have congenital TB for which appropriate treatment was started. The baby is still on regular follow-up with no active complaints.
摘要:
结核病(TB)是一种传染病,即使在印度等结核病流行国家,先天性结核病也是一种罕见的形式。文献中很少有相同的病例报道。虽然先天性结核病的发病率较低,死亡率非常高。这里,我们报告了一例2天大的新生儿,他向儿科急诊就诊,抱怨呼吸急促和全身肿胀。婴儿全身肿胀,皮下水肿提示胎儿水肿。她接受了调查,随后被诊断患有先天性结核病,并开始了适当的治疗。婴儿仍在定期随访,没有主动投诉。
