Pediatric TB: Early Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prevention
Received Date: Nov 02, 2025 / Published Date: Nov 29, 2025
Abstract
Pediatric tuberculosis (TB) poses a significant global health burden due to diagnostic complexities and frequent extrapulmonary
involvement. Early diagnosis and treatment are vital to prevent severe outcomes. Advances in diagnostic technologies, including
IGRAs and molecular assays, are improving detection. Extrapulmonary TB and drug-resistant strains present distinct management
challenges. Prevention through IPT and BCG vaccination, alongside contact tracing, remains crucial. Nutritional status impacts
susceptibility and disease severity. Integrated care models are essential for comprehensive management, particularly in resource
limited settings. Research continues to focus on understanding disease progression, developing novel diagnostics and therapeutics,
and enhancing preventive strategies for children.
