TB Relapse: While TB may relapse during pregnancy, like other chronic conditions during pregnancy, treated node TB, caused by Atypical mycobacteria than pulmonary TB caused by mycobacteria, more invasive form, is less likely to relapse if fully treated. Transmission of even mycobacteriam TB from infected mother to fetus is rare and associated with other concomitant factors that lower maternal immunity.
