The number of children and adolescents with active pulmonary and CNS tuberculosis has been growing. The disease is characterized by frequently occurring severe, disseminated and generalized forms with distruction and bacterial discharge. More cases have been detected of tuberculous meningitis, caseous pneumonia with manifest tuberculous intoxication, family tuberculosis.
