Abstrakt: Congenital tuberculosis was first suspected in a premature infant with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), progressive respiratory distress and septic shock, when an enlarged mediastinal lymph node was noted intraoperatively at the time of PDA ligature. Culture revealed Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The asymptomatic mother was subsequently diagnosed with urogenital tuberculosis.
