Tuberculosis (TB) is rising globally. Infants may show subtle symptoms like low-grade fever and mild cough, making early diagnosis of this pediatric disease challenging.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Microbiology

Context:

  • Global increase in tuberculosis (TB) incidence.
  • Pediatric TB incidence mirrors adult rates.
  • Infants often present with non-specific symptoms.

Purpose:

  • To raise pediatrician awareness of TB in young children.
  • To highlight atypical clinical presentations of infant TB.
  • To improve early diagnosis and management of pediatric TB.

Summary:

  • Six cases of culture and histology-confirmed tuberculosis (TB) in children under two years old were diagnosed within one year.
  • Infants with TB may exhibit only mild, transient symptoms such as low-grade fever and cough.
  • Physical examinations in infants with TB are frequently normal, complicating diagnosis.

Impact:

  • Increased awareness can lead to earlier diagnosis of TB in infants.
  • Improved recognition of subtle symptoms can prevent delayed treatment.
  • Enhanced understanding of pediatric TB presentation aids clinical practice.
