In a case-control study, the effect of recent pregnancy on the risk of developing active tuberculosis among women of reproductive age was investigated in Santo Domingo. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive and HIV-negative women diagnosed with new-onset tuberculosis (TB) were compared, respectively, with HIV-positive and HIV-negative women without TB with regard to reproductive history, demographic characteristics, and risk factors for HIV infection. In neither HIV-positive nor HIV-negative women was recent pregnancy or childbirth associated with an increased risk of developing active TB. These results fail to confirm earlier suggestions that pregnancy increases the risk that a woman of child-bearing age infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis will develop active TB.
