Hello.

Thanks for writing to us.
TB PCR is a very sensitive and specific test for tubrculosis. During the first miscarriage, since the test was negative, it seems that you have contacted the infection in the lst three years. Please do not worry as this infection is completely treatable. You can concieve normally after you are fully treated.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.

Hi,
PCR is widely used in clinical laboratories to diagnose pulmonary, extra-pulmonary, and disseminated tuberculosis.
As your TBPCR is positive, means you have extra-pulmonary T.B [ genital-uterine TB]. In this case , you have to take complete anti-TB treatment. After treatment you can conceive.
Genital TB increase chances of miscarriage in women. Your miscarriage can be because of that.
So consult physician as early as possible and get treated for TB; then conceive.
Take care.

Best regards,
Dr. Neelam.
