    Abstract:
    A 33-year-old woman had been on hemodialysis since she was 25 years old. In September, 1993, she had cough, which gradually increased in severity, and was accompanied by slight fever. No abnormality was observed on the chest radiography taken on November 2. However, bilateral diffuse miliary shadows were observed on the radiograph taken on November 30. Tubercle bacilli were detected by the examination of sputum smear. As she was pregnant 20 weeks, therapeutic abortion was done on December 8. A case of miliary tuberculosis occurring during pregnancy in a patient on hemodialysis has not been documented in Japan to date, and the first case in Japan was reported with a review of the literature.
