Tuberculosis cases in children are rising due to increased cases in adults and health department challenges. This review covers the latest in childhood tuberculosis diagnosis and treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Tuberculosis (TB) incidence has declined for decades but is now increasing in the US.
  • Rising TB cases in children since 1985 are linked to increased TB in child-bearing populations and health department performance issues.
  • While intrathoracic TB presentation in children remains consistent, TB treatment has evolved significantly over the last decade.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of the current epidemiology of childhood tuberculosis.
  • To outline contemporary diagnostic approaches for tuberculosis in pediatric populations.
  • To discuss recent advancements and current standards in the treatment of childhood tuberculosis.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recent studies on childhood tuberculosis.

  • Analysis of epidemiological data on tuberculosis trends in the United States.
  • Synthesis of current clinical guidelines for diagnosis and treatment.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant increase in reported childhood tuberculosis cases since 1985.
    • Intrathoracic tuberculosis clinical presentation in children has not markedly changed.
    • Substantial evolution in treatment strategies for tuberculous disease over the past ten years.

    Conclusions:

    • Childhood tuberculosis is a growing public health concern in the US.
    • Updated knowledge of epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment is crucial for effective management.
    • The review highlights the need for continued vigilance and adaptation in combating pediatric TB.
