Resumen:	To determine whether the incidence of tuberculosis with pregnancy is more common than would be expected from the crude birth rate; to see whether there is significant delay in the diagnosis of tuberculosis during pregnancy. A cross-sectional survey. 13 tuberculosis clinics within different European countries and the USA. All patients with tuberculosis seen at these clinics for a period > 1 year. Questionnaire survey based on continuous data collection. Main outcome measures: number and proportion of women with tuberculosis who were pregnant; timing of diagnosis in relation to pregnancy, including those who were pregnant or delivered in the 3 months prior to the diagnosis of TB and those who developed TB within 3 months after delivery. Pregnancy occurred in 224 (1. 5 %) of 15,217 TB patients and followed the expected rate predicted from the crude birth rate for the clinic populations. TB was diagnosed more commonly in the 3 months after delivery (n = 103) than during pregnancy (n = 68; χ = 25. 1, P < 0. 001). TB is diagnosed more frequently after delivery, despite variations in local TB incidence and healthcare systems.
