While tuberculosis (TB) in pregnant women is reported globally, clinical data in india are sparse. To describe clinical features and identify difficulties in the diagnosis of pregnancy-related TB, we performed a retrospective study of TB patinets at our hospital. The results were presented in terms of interquartile range (IQR) for age, and medians and percentages with respect to the categorical variables. One patient (3.6%) was immediately diagnosed; for 27 patients (96.4%), the median interval from the initial onset of symptoms to diagnosis was five weeks. Eight cases (28.6%) were microbiolog
