Anti-tuberculous therapy
• no increase in congenital malformations or fetal damage when rifampicin, isoniazid and ethambutol are used in combination
• pyrazinamide is also considered to be a safe drug in pregnancy

Breast feeding
appears to be safe when the mother is taking standard anti-tuberculous medication.
If the mother is taking isoniazid, pyridoxine supplementation should be given to the child as a small amount of isoniazid is present in breast milk

Breast feeding…
It is usually unnecessary for the child to receive treatment unless the mother is diagnosed with open (infectious) at the time of delivery
OR
contact tracing (which should be performed promptly) reveals that the child has had contact with another infectious member of the family.
