Busisiwe Beko was diagnosed with drug-resistant TB ( DR -TB) when she was five months pregnant.
There is still no recommended treatment regimen for DR -TB in pregnant women.
Pregnant women have been excluded from drug trials, which means doctors do not have high-quality clinical trial data to work with.
Clinical trials are never completely free of hazards, but Salazar-Austin believes that highly controlled trials are the right place for the risks to be examined.
Including pregnant women in trials will require extra monitoring for any changes in the mother or baby’s health, she says.
“These risks exist either way. But without good information, it falls squarely on the shoulders of the pregnant women and their doctors.”.
