Abstract
A woman from a poor urban community presented recently with pulmonary tuberculosis. Screening of contacts revealed 10 cases of tuberculosis, eight of whom were children. A further 10 children had grade 2-3 positive Heaf tests and were given chemoprophylaxis. Tuberculosis remains a potential problem, particularly in young unimmunized children in deprived areas.Entities:
