Abstract:
Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of acute hematogenous pulmonary tuberculosis and tuberculous meningitis in pregnant women after in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET).Methods Clinical data of 11 cases of hematogenous pulmonary tuberculosis and tuberculous meningitis in women after IVF-ET admitted in Hangzhou Red Cross Hospital from January 2003 to October 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.Results The clinical manifestations of acute hematogenous pulmonary tuberculosis and tuberculous meningitis were non-specific.All cases presented with fever,and some were accompanied by headache,but no typical respiratory manifestation was observed.Chest X-ray showed typical military lesions.Miscarriage occurred in 11 patients within 2 to 5 weeks after the onset of fever,including 3 received artificial abortion.Conclusions The outcome of hematogenous pulmonary tuberculosis in pregnant women after IVF-ET is less favorable.Physicians should be aware of tuberculosis in pregnant women after IVF-ET,especially for those with long-term fever and not responding to anti-inflammatory treatment.
