Miliary tuberculosis in an in-vitro fertilization pregnancy: a case report.
A 33-yr-old woman with primary infertility of no known cause of 10 years duration underwent in-vitro fertilization. Mild flu-like symptoms and intermittent vaginal bleeding developed, and miliary mottling was seen throughout both lung fields. At 14 weeks she aborted a normal male fetus; urine culture was positive for M. bovis. Six months later, after a course of antituberculous drugs, the patient was symptom-free.
