The article presents a case of lung tuberculosis in a woman who appeared to be a source of infection for several children in the family. The clinical case shows a connection of high epidemical significance of maternal tuberculosis with the disease features in a woman with social risk factors and high delivery parity (rapid progressing with massive bacterial excretion and low-symptomatic course).
