Clinical manifestations of tuberculosis among pediatric household contacts with active culture confirmed disease

Year: 2010

Type: article

Abstract: Background: Previous research on tuberculosis in children has been largely limited to cross sectional studies in settings where MTB culture was not performed. To further characterize the clinical presentation of children with TB, we performed a retrospective cohort study of pediatric household contacts (HHC) with culture confirmed disease in Uganda.
