A member asked:

Tb recovered 10yrs ago.last year miscarriage at 13th wk. need treatment for qtf-gold positive now? relationships between them? safe to pregnant again?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

TB: Not sure if last year's miscarriage related to TB or not, but most likely not since TB is not a common cause of miscarriage, anyway. If you have positive quantiferon test, you may need treatment, but i would avoid pregnancy at all costs during the treatment, because the drugs are quite toxic.
