Hi..after reading your case if I would be your doctor then I would suggest you HIV testing... AIDS is responsible for decreased levels of IgG & igM & it is some time associated with tuberculosis.. It has no direct effect on baby but it can cause increased chances of various infection which leads to preterm labour.. If it is so then treatment with anti retroviral medicine will definitely help the condition.. Yes .. Low levels of IgG & igM leads to recurrence & flaring up of tuberculosis..
