[The specific features of disseminated forms of tuberculosis in children].
The results of examination and treatment were analyzed in 23 children with disseminated and miliary tuberculosis. Babies of the first year of life made up more than 1/2. After BCG vaccination, the scar was less than 5 mm in diameter in most cases. Tuberculosis began predominantly gradually; in half the children, it was sever, but without a pronounced temperature reaction. Roentgenologically, it most frequently manifested itself as total dissemination with polymorphic foci. The miliary process was diagnosed in 3 children. The rate of deaths was 13%. A positive clinical effect was achieved in 87% of the patients.
