This study aimed to determine risk factors for an adverse pregnancy outcome among pregnant women diagnosed with TB. Findings suggest that pregnancy outcomes among women with TB were poor, irrespective of HIV status. Pregnant women with TB are a complex population who need additional support prior to, during and after TB treatment to improve TB treatment and pregnancy outcomes. Pregnancy status should be considered for inclusion in TB registries.
