Chances of t b transfer from mom to new born?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Infrequent: If you have active tuberculosis it is possible to infect your fetus through the placenta but this is rare. If you have active TB you need to inform your OB and your baby can be evaluated and placed on medication to reduce acquisition of tb. Very rarely TB can be transmitted through breast milk. Have your infant tested when born.
