Interpretation
How does pregnancy affect the detection of Tuberculosis by TB Gold test?
During pregnancy there is some amount of immunosuppression - meaning that the immunity becomes modulated or slightly weaker. As a result, there is a reduction in the ability of Tb Gold test to detect Tuberculosis. This means that some mothers who are carrying TB may not be detected by the TB Gold test, if the test is done during pregnancy. Reference : Birku M, Desalegn G, Kassa G, Tsegaye A, Abebe M.
