Introduction

• Paediatric tuberculosis fascinating topic• Quite a challenging field to work in• Exciting times

• More funding• More research• More interest

• Opportunity • Advance field• Make a significant difference to some of the most vulnerable and

marginalised children

Why is paediatric tuberculosis important?

Why understanding the epidemiology important?

• Who, where, when• Targeting resources• Discrepancies• Sentinel event• Market assessment• Advocacy

Challenges

• Few cases confirmed• Difficult to obtain specimens• Paucibacillary disease• Limited laboratory capability• Greatest challenge in youngest

children

• Under-reporting• Previously only sputum smear-

positive cases reported• Private sector frequently not

reported

All children with TB

Children who are diagnosed

with TB

Children with TB who are reported to

WHO

Children with TB who present to health services

• After a long period of little investigation lots of work now being done on paediatric TB

• Lots being done at Imperial
