Congenital tuberculosis presenting as sepsis syndrome: case report and review of the literature

The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal
M A MazadeA G Correa

Abstract

We report an infant with congenital tuberculosis who presented with fulminant septic shock, disseminated intravascular coagulation and respiratory failure. Aggressive resuscitation and supportive care and prompt initiation of antituberculosis medications led to resolution of the shock state. We reviewed six other cases with a similar presentation. Congenital tuberculosis should be in the differential of the infant presenting acutely with sepsis syndrome.
