title: [Effects of age on the etiology of complications and the extent of lesions in tuberculosis of thoracic lymph nodes in children].
abstract: Fifty one children with tuberculosis of intrathoracic lymph nodes were examined to define an association of the severity and extent of damage with age. This type of tuberculosis that occurs in babies runs with complications. It is more frequently detected in children under 3 years on their referral to pediatricians. In school-age children, this tuberculosis is accompanied by the involvement of a group of intrathoracic lymph nodes and diagnosed more frequently in the phase of early calcification.
