Information on the outcome of extrapulmonary tuberculosis in pregnant women is limited. We present particular clinical and outcome aspects in a pregnant HIV negative woman (with pregnancy after in vitro fertilization) with tuberculosis at multiple extrapulmonary sites. In addition, we will describe the paradoxical reaction with appearance of cerebral tuberculomas after 7 months of antituberculous therapy initiation, most probably in the context of a immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS).

A case report of a young male diagnosed as cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis presenting with rapidly enlarging neck nodes causing airway obstructing secondary to paradoxical reaction to antituberculous drugs. This phenomenon is rare in HIV negative patient. He also had myriad of symptoms and multilevel obstructions. In this case report we discuss the presentation of patient to our center with the management and possible pitfalls.

Der Einsatz und Erfolg der kombinierten antiretroviralen Therapie hat dazu geführt, dass heterosexuelle sowie vertikale HIV-Transmissionen nur noch selten vorkommen. HIV-infizierte Frauen werden immer häufiger schwanger und können durch präventive Maßnahmen, v. a. in den industrialisierten Ländern, HIV-negative gesunde Kinder gebären. Im nachfolgenden Artikel gehen wir auf die Bedeutung einer HIV-Infektion und auf die wichtigsten diagnostischen sowie therapeutischen Aspekte in der Schwangerschaft ein.
