Acute respiratory distress syndrome due to tuberculosis in a pregnant adolescent
The acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) secondary to tuberculosis in adults carries a high mortality. Its presentation in children is exceptional.
We report the case of a pregnant 15-year-old adolescent with no immunodeficiency who developed ARDS secondary to tuberculosis, requiring mechanical ventilation and inhaled nitric oxide treatment and presenting a favourable clinical course.
We conclude that, although very infrequent, tuberculosis must be excluded in any child with ARDS of unknown cause as early diagnosis and treatment significantly improves the prognosis.
