Pathologist found Pus in the swallowed part while FNAC test and told that nothing was diagnosed where as Igm test showed that it was TB.

Hi,
If one has TB infection during pregnancy. She needs to get investigated, to find degree of the infection and get specific treatment from an expert. This would improve her condition and save baby from bad effects of disease.
