We report a case of multi-drug resistant congenital tuberculosis in an infant conceived by in-vitro fertilization and review 22 additional infant/mother pairs in the literature. Females evaluated for infertility should be screened for tuberculosis (TB) risk, and those at-risk require a TB-specific diagnostic evaluation before receiving assisted reproductive treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
