EXPERT: PREGNANT WOMAN WITH TUBERCULOSIS AND HEALTHY CHILD

The pregnant women who are sick with tuberculosis don’t need to worry as their child will born healthy, said Narine Hovhannisyan, of the Ministry of Health to Panorama.am reporter. According to the expert the pregnant woman sick with tuberculosis should be cured as other sick people but the only difference is that it is forbidden to use STREPTOMICIN medicine.

“The woman who has applied to a specialist-doctor and is being cured does not need to worry. All the medicine against the tuberculosis do not have any impact on child except strptomicin, and the rest medicine for the complex curement are safe,” she said and added that if the woman does not receive any medicine then it is not guaranteed that the child will be healthy. She said that in this case the child won’t be sick by tuberculosis but some other diseases.
