EXPERT: PREGNANT WOMAN WITH TUBERCULOSIS AND HEALTHY CHILD
The pregnant women who are sick with tuberculosis don’t need to worry
as their child will born healthy, said Narine Hovhannisyan, of the
Ministry of Health to Panorama.am reporter. According to the expert
the pregnant woman sick with tuberculosis should be cured as other
sick people but the only difference is that it is forbidden to use
STREPTOMICIN medicine.
`The woman who has applied to a specialist-doctor and is being cured
does not need to worry. All the medicine against the tuberculosis do
not have any impact on child except strptomicin, and the rest medicine
for the complex curement are safe,’ she said and added that if the
woman does not receive any medicine then it is not guaranteed that the
child will be healthy. She said that in this case the child won’t be
sick by tuberculosis but some other diseases.
