OBJECTIVES: The objectives were to describe emergency department (ED) presentations of children with tuberculosis (TB) disease and assess the utility in children of TB screening tools developed for adults. METHODS: Children at most 18 years old with confirmed or probable TB seen at the Children's TB Clinic from 2005 to 2009 who were initially evaluated in the ED for symptoms compatible with TB in the preceding month were included. TB was classified as microbiologically confirmed disease or probable TB disease, as defined by the World Health Organization...

BACKGROUND AND METHOD: The decline of tuberculosis (TB) in the Swedish population since the middle of the 20th century resulted in decreased awareness of the disease. Increased migration from TB-endemic countries has resulted in new cases and risk of transmission. A day care provider was diagnosed with cavitary TB after being symptomatic for 5 months. We describe the contact tracing at the day care center, the clinical and radiographic findings, and treatment of the infected children...

Tuberculosis (TB) in children is an important warning sign in a community, as it could signal recent infection of a cavitary form in an adult. Thus, while early diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment in children, it is also imperative for the control of tuberculosis at the public health level since it allows rapid identification of contagious adult cases. Here we report four cases of difficult and delayed diagnosis of TB in children. From this experience we highlight the need for an extensive medical history of the patient during diagnostic work-up...

REVIEW
Dwight A Powell, W Garrett Hunt
TB is a common and serious global infection that is spread exclusively from person to person. The initial infection in most healthy people leads to LTBI 95% of the time, but untreated individuals have a 5% to 10% lifetime risk for reactivating their infection to develop highly infectious cavitary pulmonary TB or extrapulmonary disease. Following primary infection progressive disease is more likely to develop in children younger than 5 years old or those who are immunocompromised, particularly those with HIV infection...

Posttraumatic pulmonary pseudocyst is a rare cavitary lesion lacking an epithelial lining, which develops within the pulmonary parenchyma after blunt chest trauma. Such pseudocysts develop most commonly in children and young adults. The clinical course is usually benign with spontaneous resolution of the radiologic manifestations within 2 to 4 months after trauma. A young male injured in a motor vehicle accident, sustaining a posttraumatic pulmonary pseudocyst, is presented here.

Plain chest radiography plays a major role in the diagnosis and follow-up of pulmonary tuberculosis in childhood. The aim of our study was to investigate the distribution of characteristic chest radiographic findings at diagnosis in children with pulmonary tuberculosis. The age of the patients and the type and localization of radiographic changes at admission were retrospectively analyzed. We reviewed chest radiographs in 204 children admitted from January 1, 1991 until June 30, 1994 for newly diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis...

Tuberculosis in children is often acquired by contact with a family or household member. The aim of our study was to evaluate risk factors for latent infection and active disease in exposed children in a suburb of Paris. We examined medical records for the period 1997-2000 at six departmental centers for medical prevention in Val de Marne. Thirty-nine patients aged 18 years or more with M. tuberculosis-positive sputum samples, and living with children or adolescents, were identified. Ninety-one children, aged 3 months-17 years, were exposed to these index cases...

Cystic and cavitary lung lesions constitute a spectrum of pulmonary diseases diagnosed in both children and adults. We reviewed the CT findings of the most common cystic and cavitary lung lesions and we defined useful morphological criteria that will help radiologists to distinguish benign from malignant cavitary lesions. However, in many cases the considerable overlap in morphological features of benign and malignant cavities renders transthoracic needle biopsy necessary to establish the correct diagnosis.

UNLABELLED: The following report describes the contact investigation of a pediatrician with tuberculosis (TB). The pediatrician's disease was discovered in late February 1993 after tuberculin skin testing (TST) of his 15-month-old son was positive (13-mm induration). Further investigation to identify the source of the child's infection revealed a positive (15-mm induration) TST in the pediatrician. The pediatrician had been symptomatic with a cough since September 1992. The pediatrician had a chest radiograph that revealed numerous cavitary lesions and a sputum smear that was positive for acid-fast bacilli...

Recent data have suggested that there are racial differences in the susceptibility to infection by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. An opportunity to test this suggestion was afforded by an outbreak of tuberculosis in a racially mixed elementary school in St. Louis County, Missouri. A physical education teacher was discovered to have cavitary pulmonary tuberculosis. Of 343 students in the school, 176 (51 percent) were found to be tuberculin skin test positive (> or = 5 mm induration by Mantoux method); 32 children had abnormal chest radiographs...

A prospective study was conducted on 75 consecutive cases of primary cavitary pulmonary tuberculosis in hospitalized children below 2 years to determine the spectrum of the disease. Diagnosis was based on clinical, radiological, tuberculin test and histopathological findings and not on isolation of tubercle bacilli. Peak age was 7-12 months. Ten mothers suffered from pulmonary fibrocavitary disease and 73% of cases were severely malnourished. Presenting symptoms were fever and cough, at times dyspnea and often followed measles...

The authors review the computed tomographic (CT) findings following single and double lung transplantation in children to show the spectrum of complications. The most common parenchymal complications following transplantation include acute rejection; chronic rejection or bronchiolitis obliterans; bacterial, viral, and fungal infections; and lymphoproliferative disorders. In acute and chronic rejection, CT shows ground-glass attenuation and interlobar septal thickening. The same CT findings are seen in bacterial and viral infections, with occasional pulmonary abscess seen in the former...

REVIEW
H P McAdams, J Erasmus, J A Winter
In summary, the following points are reemphasized: 1. The chest film is the mainstay in the radiologic evaluation of suspected or proven pulmonary TB. CT is occasionally useful for clarifying confusing findings but has not been conclusively shown to have a significant impact on patient management. 2. Primary TB is increasingly a disease of adults. 3. Primary TB usually manifests as a parenchymal consolidation in any pulmonary lobe or segment. Distinguishing features from typical bacterial pneumonia include associated adenopathy, lack of systemic toxicity, failure to respond to conventional antibacterial therapy, and recent PPD conversion...

A 13-year-old, female, seventh-grade student (the index patient) was found to have smear-positive, cavitary, pulmonary tuberculosis. Epidemiologic and contact investigation, involving skin testing over 900 people, revealed a 40 per cent tuberculin reactor rate for persons in the junior high school she attended compared to a 2 per cent rate for control schools. Repeat skin testing of initial non-reactors identified an additional 3 per cent of infected school children. School teachers showed a seven-fold increase in the prevalence of positive skin-test reactions following the outbreak...
