    Summary

    Extrapulmonary tuberculosis affects children in the Novosibirsk region, with tuberculous lymphadenitis and bone-and-joint tuberculosis being most common. Delayed diagnosis in children stems from low awareness among general practitioners and insufficient focus on tuberculosis infection sites.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Public Health

    Context:

    • Extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) poses a significant challenge in pediatric populations.
    • Analysis of EPTB morbidity in children from the Novosibirsk region over a decade provides crucial regional data.
    • Understanding the specific types and diagnostic delays of EPTB in children is vital for targeted interventions.

    Purpose:

    • To analyze the morbidity and characteristics of extrapulmonary tuberculosis in children within the Novosibirsk region over a 10-year period.
    • To identify the most prevalent forms of EPTB in pediatric patients.
    • To investigate the reasons for delayed diagnosis of EPTB in children.

    Summary:

    • A 10-year analysis of pediatric extrapulmonary tuberculosis in the Novosibirsk region revealed 44 cases (17.9% of sick children).
    • Tuberculous lymphadenitis (50%) and bone-and-joint tuberculosis (27.3%) were the most frequent diagnoses, followed by nephrotuberculosis and ocular tuberculosis.
    • A significant majority (80%) of pediatric EPTB cases were diagnosed post-surgery for other conditions, highlighting diagnostic challenges. Complications were present in 18.2% at presentation.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the need for increased awareness of EPTB among general practitioners treating children.
    • Underscores the importance of improving tuberculosis infection control and screening in at-risk pediatric populations.
    • Provides data to inform public health strategies and improve early detection and management of pediatric EPTB.
