Pediatric tuberculosis: an update.
The incidence of tuberculous infection and disease in children has risen significantly over the last decade. The management of TB has become more complicated by the changing epidemiology of this disease and the emergence of resistant MTB. Many new recommendations have recently been made to address these issues. It is crucial that pediatricians become familiar with this disease again and have a good working knowledge of pediatric TB.
