Perinatal tuberculosis: a diagnostic and treatment challenge in a remote area of Asmat Regency of South Papua, Indonesia (case report).

Perinatal tuberculosis (TB) is a rare infectious disease. The diagnosis of perinatal TB is challenging due to its nonspecific clinical manifestations make it difficult to differentiate from other infections, resulting in a high mortality rate of 40-60%. Here we report a 26-day-old neonate with fever, cough, fast breathing, poor feeding, subcostal retraction, bilateral crackles, hepatomegaly, and signs of shock.
