I made a PPD test and it gave a positive result. But I have no symptoms and feel myself well. So, I probably have a latent tuberculosis. I am on the eighth week of pregnancy. Should I treat this latent tuberculosis or it is better to do that after the delivery?

This is certainly a question for your doctor, not the internet. You don't know for sure if that's what it is; the PPD will show positive if you're immune to TB, and this has no bearing on whether you're actively carrying it. If you had the BCG shot, for example, you'd get a positive PPD result and you would absolutely not have TB. Talk to your doctor
