The diagnosis of congenital tuberculosis (TB) is often difficult as clinical signs are nonspecific. The maternal history of TB therefore remains an important tool in the diagnosis of congenital TB. In this case report, we present a patient with congenital TB, whose diagnosis was delayed because the mother was asymptomatic and there was a delay in eliciting a family history of TB. This highlights the importance of obtaining a detailed history on admission.
先天性结核病（TB）的诊断往往较为困难，因为临床症状不具有特异性。因此，母亲的 TB 病史仍然是诊断先天性 TB 的重要工具。在本病例报告中，我们介绍了一位患有先天性 TB 的患者，由于母亲无症状且在询问 TB 家族史时出现延迟，导致其诊断被延误。这突显了在入院时获取详细病史的重要性。
