[Specific features of tuberculosis in childhood].

C Delacourt1.   

Abstract

Primary infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis usually occurs during childhood. The source of infection is most often an adult. The risk of infection in exposed children is modulated by various factors related to the infectiousness of the index case, exposure conditions, and the child himself. This review aims to describe the specific diagnostic and therapeutic features of latent TB infection and TB disease in childhood.
