Can Latent TB Cause A Child Handicap In Pregnancy?
Hi I am 30 year old and in the second trimester of pregnancy. I was diagnosed with latent TB in last December after which I also got my menstrual blood tested for TB but it was negative.I decided not to start any treatment.I missed my periods in March this year when i realised i was pregnant. My dr gave me R-cinex 600 for 2 and a half months starting April.I have got my NT scan and triple test done which was normal.Last year me and my husband both got tested for chrosomal study which was normal.I have a history of one missed abortion which was aborted through medicines at 8 weeks anf also through suction evacuation. I am a little worried as someone told me that if you conceive without prior treatment of latent TB then there are chances that your child may be handicapped. Should i be worried or not?
