Congenital tuberculosis after in vitro fertilization.
Genital tuberculosis (TB) is a major cause of infertility in the world, notably in developing countries, but its incidence is increasing in the western continents. In vitro fertilization (IVF) represents a useful treatment of infertility after TB. We report the first case of congenital TB after IVF and suggest improvement of usual screening before and after IVF.
