Pregnancy may influence cellular immune responses to Mycobacterium tuberculosis. We investigated M. tuberculosis-specific interferon-g responses in women followed longitudinally during pregnancy and postpartum. Interferon-g levels (stimulated by M. tuberculosis antigens [TB1 and TB2] and mitogen included in the QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus assay) were measured in blood from pregnant HIV-negative women identified from a prospective cohort at Ethiopian antenatal care clinics. Longitudinal comparisons included women without active tuberculosis (TB) with M. tuberculosis-triggered interferon-g responses of $ 0.20 IU/ml, sampled on two and/or three occasions (1st/2nd trimester, 3rd trimester, and 9 months postpartum). Among 2,093 women in the source cohort, 363 met inclusion criteria for longitudinal comparisons of M. tuberculosis-stimulated interferon-g responses. Median M. tuberculosis-triggered interferon-g concentrations were higher at 3rd than those at the 1st/2nd trimester (in 38 women with samples available from these time points; TB1: 2.8 versus 1.6 IU/ml, P = 0.005; TB2: 3.3 versus 2.8 IU/ml, P = 0.03) and postpartum (in 49 women with samples available from these time points; TB1: 3.1 versus 2.2 IU/ml, P = 0.01; TB2: 3.1 versus 2.3 IU/ml, P = 0.03). In contrast, mitogen-stimulated interferon-g levels were lower at 3rd than those at 1st/2nd trimester (in 32 women with samples available from these time points: 21.0 versus 34.9 IU/ml, P = 0.02). Results were similar in 22 women sampled on all 3 occasions. In HIV-negative women, M. tuberculosis-stimulated interferon-g responses were higher during the 3rd trimester than those at earlier stages of pregnancy and postpartum, despite decreased mitogen-triggered responses. These findings suggest increased M. tuberculosis-specific cellular responses due to dynamic changes of latent TB infection during pregnancy.
