Can IVF be done with a positive PPD?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Can I undergo IVF with a positive PPD test?

Doctor's answer:

Tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease caused by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. The principle of tuberculosis treatment is early, combined, regular, full-course, and sufficient dosage. Hospitalization is not necessarily required for treatment, and it is recommended to have regular follow-up examinations. The condition you described is considered pharyngitis, which falls under upper respiratory tract infections. The treatment primarily involves antibiotic therapy, and intravenous medication can be considered. Alternatively, you can steep three to five honeysuckle fruits in water to drink, which is relatively effective.
