مريضة سل رئوي حامل في الأسبوع ٢٠. أي معلومة صحيحة؟

A pregnant woman at 20 weeks has pulmonary TB. Which statement is correct?

1. She is treated with first-line drugs, as untreated TB is more dangerous
2. The pregnancy is ended before any treatment
3. Treatment is delayed until after delivery to protect the fetus
4. Rifampicin and isoniazid are forbidden in pregnancy

Answer: A) She is treated with first-line drugs, as untreated TB is more dangerous. First-line TB drugs are used in pregnancy with B6 added to isoniazid, because untreated TB harms mother and fetus. Some drugs for resistant TB are avoided.
