title: Tuberculosis in infants, children, and adolescents: new dilemmas with an old disease.
abstract: After nearly three decades of decline, tuberculosis has resurfaced as a major public health problem in the United States. The largest increase in cases is among 25-to-44 year-olds, an age group likely to have children in their households who are at risk of becoming infected. Aggressive interventions must be pursued to interrupt this continuing cycle of transmission.
