CHILDHOOD TB

3/14/2013 2

Childhood TB

• Why neglected?

– Not considered important in global program or

contributing to immediate transmission

– Not regarded as public health risk

– Difficult to diagnose

• Why is it important?

– Health problem in children

– May later contribute to epidemic

Childhood TB as Sentinel Event

• Indicates recent transmission in a community

• Rapid progression from infection to disease

“A deterioration in the control of TB thus immediately hurts the youngest generation” (Rieder, 1997)

• Children are future reservoir of disease

Clinical types of pediatric TB

• Infection: TST (+), clinical (-), radiographic (-)

• Disease: – Pulmonary:

• primary pulmonary TB

• milliary TB

• pleuritis TB

• progr primary pulm TB: pneumonia, endobr TB

– Extrapulmonary: • lymph nodes

• brain & meninges

• bone & joint

• gastrointestinal

• other organs

3/14/2013 17

Clinical manifestation

• vary, wide spectrum

• factors:

– TB bacilli: numbers, virulence

– host: age, immune state

• clinical manifestation

– general manifestation

– organ specific manifestation

3/14/2013 18

General manifestation

• chronic fever, subfebrile

• anorexia

• weight loss

• malnutrition

• malaise

• chronic recurrent cough, think asthma!

• chronic recurrent diarrhea

Organ specific

• Respiratory : cough, wheezing, dyspnea

• Neurology : convulsion, neck stiffness,

SOL manifestation

• Orthopedic : gibbus, crippled

• Lymph node : enlarge, scrofuloderma

• Gastrointestinal: chronic diarrhea

• Others

3/14/2013 21

Imaging diagnostic

• routine : chest X ray

• on indication : bone, joint, abdomen

• majority of CXR non suggestive TB

• pitfall in TB diagnostic

Radiographic picture

• primary complex: lymph node enlargement

• milliary

• atelectasis

• cavity

• tuberculoma

• pneumonia

• air trapping - hyperinflation

• pleural effusion

• honeycombs – bronchiectasis

• calcification, fibrosis

3/14/2013 24

The main problems

• Diagnosis – Clinical manifestations : not specific

both over/under diagnosis & over/under treatment

– diagnostic specimen : difficult to obtain

– No other definitive diagnostic tools

– TB infection or TB disease ? no diagnostic tool to distinguish

• Adherence / compliance – Drug discontinuation treatment failure

Diagnosis of TB in children

• If you find the diagnosis of TB in children easy, you probably overdiagnosing TB

• If you find the diagnosis of TB in children difficult, you are not alone

• It is easy to over-diagnose TB in children

• It is also easy to miss TB in children

• Carefully assess all the evidence, before making the diagnosis

Objectives of treatment

• Rapid reduction of the number

of bacilli

• Preventing acquired drug

resistance

• Sterilization to prevent relapses

3/14/2013 29

Treatment principles

Drug combination, not single drug

Two phases :

Initial phase (2 months) – intensive,

bactericidal effect

Maintenance phase (4 months / more)

– ‘sterilizing’ effect, prevent relaps
