Congenital tuberculosis (CTB) due to maternal genitourinary (GU) TB infection is a rare occurrence, as infection of the genital tract in women generally leads to infertility. Increasing availability of assisted reproductive technology creates the potential for CTB to emerge as a significant problem. We describe five infants (two sets of twins and a singleton birth) conceived by in vitro fertilization who developed CTB. All five infants were born to mothers who had immigrated to the United States from India and none had GU TB diagnosed before the birth of their infected infants.
先天性结核病（CTB）是由母体泌尿生殖系统（GU）结核感染引起的，较为罕见，因为女性生殖道感染通常会导致不孕。辅助生殖技术的日益普及，使 CTB 有可能成为一个重大问题。我们描述了五例通过体外受精受孕的婴儿（两对双胞胎和一个单胎）发生 CTB 的情况。这五名婴儿均出生于从印度移民到美国的母亲，且在感染婴儿出生前，她们均未被诊断为 GU 结核病。
