A member asked:

After treatment of neck lymp node tb can tb pass to fetus? can lymp node tb effect other organs during treatment?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Tuberculosis: Infants may acquire tuberculosis by transplacental spread through the umbilical vein to the fetal liver; aspiration or ingestion of infected amniotic fluid; or airborne inoculation from close contacts (family members or nursery personnel). Hope this does not occur. Stay well and recover uneventfully. Best wishes.
