Abstract

Congenital tuberculosis is uncommon, and nosocomial transmission from a congenitally infected infant to another infant has not been reported in the English literature. We report an investigation of 2 infants with tuberculosis who were cared for in the same neonatal intensive care unit. Isolates from both infants were genetically indistinguishable. Transmission between the 2 infants was likely due to contaminated respiratory equipment.
