Congenital tuberculosis. A report of a probable case.
Extensive miliary pulmonary tuberculosis in a 17-day-old infant born to a mother with pulmonary tuberculosis is described.  It was assumed that the patient probably had congental tuberculosis.  We report our findings to draw attention to a rare disease where a high index of suspicion, timely diagnosis and adequate management are essential if treatment is to be successful.
