Tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. In the world, tuberculosis is an important factor affecting women's reproductive health, which can cause reproductive tract anatomy abnormalities, embryo implantation obstacles, ovarian reserve and ovulation dysfunction, leading to female infertility. This group of women usually need to seek assisted reproductive technology to conceive. Latent tuberculosis infection during pregnancy has no clinical manifestation, but may develop into active tuberculosis, leading to adverse pregnancy outcomes. Most pregnant women do not need to be treated for latent tuberculosis infection, unless they are combined with high-risk factors for tuberculosis progress, but they need close follow-up. Early diagnosis and treatment of active tuberculosis in pregnancy can reduce the incidence rate and mortality of pregnant women and newborns, and treatment needs multidisciplinary cooperation.
