Congenital
Pulmonary Tuberculosis Associated with Maternal Cerebral Tuberculosis-
Florida, 2002 (3/30/05)
http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5410a3.htm
PDF (p. 249)
http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/PDF/wk/mm5410.pdf
In 2002, congenital tuberculosis (TB), a rare disease with nonspecific signs
and symptoms, was diagnosed in an infant in Florida. If untreated,
congenital TB is fatal, which underscores the importance of suspecting
congenital TB in newborns and infants who are at risk and who have
unexplained febrile illnesses. This report summarizes the investigation of
the case in Florida. Health-care practitioners should administer a
tuberculin skin test to women who have risks for Mycobacterium tuberculosis
infection and treat those who have latent TB infection to prevent maternal
and congenital TB disease.

http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/PDF/wk/mm5015.pdf
During January 2001, the Wichita-Sedgwick County Department of Community
Health, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, and CDC
investigated a cluster of tuberculosis (TB) cases that occurred from 1994
to 2000 among women with a history of working as dancers in adult
entertainment clubs (i.e., exotic dancers) and persons who were close
contacts of exotic dancers. This report describes the results of the
investigation and illustrates the need for early identification of TB
clusters through ongoing surveillance and resources for health.
