A case of disseminated tuberculosis during a twin pregnancy following in vitro fertilization

A woman presented with cough, fever, and dyspnea during a twin pregnancy following a 13th in vitro fertilization procedure. Ultimately, she was diagnosed with miliary tuberculosis and tuberculostatic treatment was initiated, complicated by drug-induced hepatotoxicity. In retrospect, previous pelvic tuberculosis had likely been overlooked. This case report highlights the need to recognize tuberculosis as a cause of infertility even in low-incidence countries and emphasizes that the peripartum period is a major risk factor for drug-induced liver injury.
