Can pregnant women take TB treatment?

0

It is recommended that HIV-positive pregnant women receive the same TB treatment as non-pregnant adults. Rifampin, however, can cause a bleeding disorder in babies born to women who took TB treatment during pregnancy. To guard against this disorder, babies born to pregnant women on TB treatment should receive a single 10 mg dose of vitamin K.
