  • Title: [Congenital tuberculosis in a premature infant].
    Author: Limbach HG, Jesberger HJ, Löffler G.
    Journal: Klin Padiatr; 1993; 205(1):56-8. PubMed ID: 8445856.
    Abstract:
    5 days after birth a premature baby of 1,300 g (31st week of gestation) was examined, because a congenital tuberculosis was suspected. In the stomach secretion mycobacterium tuberculosis could in fact be found. Abdominal symptoms as well as a post-natal anemia could be lead back to the infection. For three months a double parenteral therapy with INH (10 mg/kg/d) and Rifampicin (10 mg/kg/d) was carried through, then a mono therapy with INH for another 6 months. The bacillus had become resistant to streptomycin. At the beginning of the chemotherapy a cholestasis developed. The tuberculosis could be cured.
