[A clinical case of complicated tuberculosis in an infant from perinatal contact with HIV infection].
The paper describes a case of tuberculosis of intrathoracic lymph nodes in a baby born to a HIV-infected mother. The baby developed a severe tuberculous process complicated by bronchopulmonary lesion and by the ulcerofistular form of bronchial tuberculosis accompanied by bacterial isolation. The infant had been in contact in the undetected familial focus of tuberculous infection and unvaccinated with BCG. The paper gives an example of the frequent identification of tuberculosis in children born to HIV-infected mothers in the absence of BCG vaccination. The question arises as to whether it is necessary to revise the order forbidding BCG vaccination of all the babies born to HIV-infected mother and to examine the families where the mothers return with their babies from maternity hospitals for tuberculosis.
