Many clinicians regard tuberculosis as an adult pulmonary disease, but
tuberculosis (TB) is a major cause of disease, both pulmonary and extrapulmonary,
and death in young children from TB-endemic countries, especially in areas
affected by poverty, social disruption, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
infection. This article reviews the disease burden and the natural history of
disease in children with TB. It also provides guidance regarding the diagnosis,
treatment, and prevention of TB in children.
