Snippet: Tuberculosis (TB) is a widely prevalent disease, especially in resource-limited settings. It poses a big burden to the community and is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in pregnant females due to their immunosuppressed state. During pregnancy, the immune system is suppressed to prevent fetal rejection, and it gets reconstituted postpartum. During this reconstitution phase, reactivation of TB may occur, making it quintessential to test peripartum females for latent TB, especially th
Document: Tuberculosis (TB) is a widely prevalent disease, especially in resource-limited settings. It poses a big burden to the community and is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in pregnant females due to their immunosuppressed state. During pregnancy, the immune system is suppressed to prevent fetal rejection, and it gets reconstituted postpartum. During this reconstitution phase, reactivation of TB may occur, making it quintessential to test peripartum females for latent TB, especially those belonging to endemic regions. We describe an unfortunate case of reactivation of TB in a postpartum female from Central America.
