摘要
Tuberculosis remains an important cause of childhood morbidity and mortality in many areas of the developing world. Published data on the epidemiology of TB in children are scarce, and research efforts focused on TB in children are too few. The diagnosis of TB in children is difficult, and too many children are not completing their prescribed courses of treatment. Controlling TB in all populations requires that attention be devoted to the issues of accurate surveillance and adequate diagnosis and treatment of TB in children.
