A case of perinatal tuberculosis with pneumonia was reported. The infant recovered after bronchoalveolar lavage fluid testing and medication treatment. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy plays an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of perinatal tuberculosis, and can be promoted as an important approach to managing perinatal tuberculosis.
Perinatal tuberculosis is a rare disease with high mortality and a challenging diagnosis. We reported a 56-day-old female infant with cough and wheezing. Her mother had miliary tuberculosis. Gastric aspirate smear, tuberculin skin test, blood and sputum culture of the infant were negative. Thoracic computed tomography demonstrated several consolidated patches with diffuse high-density nodular opacities in bilateral lungs. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy was performed to obtain bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, reduce secretion and restore airway patency on 2 days after admission. Mycobacterium tuberculosis was detected by bronchoalveolar lavage fluid Xpert MTB/RIF and rifampicin resistance was negative on 3 days after admission. Appropriate anti-tuberculosis drug was chosen. The infant made a good recovery. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy plays a vital role in diagnosing rapidly and treating perinatal tuberculosis. And it could be promoted as an important approach to the management of perinatal tuberculosis.
