Abstract

Childhood tuberculosis (TB) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality and the highest case burden, an estimated 95% of all TB cases is found in developing countries. Although childhood TB contributes to only 3-6% of the total caseload in industrialized countries, it makes up a large proportion (15-20%) of all TB cases in developing countries. The diagnosis of tuberculosis in children is quite difficult and seldom confirmed and is based mainly on clinical signs, symptoms, history of contact with adult and special investigations. TB in children, which is paucibacillary in nature, is usually smear-negative. Bacteriological confirmation by culture of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MT) the gold standard of diagnosis, but rarely exceeds 30-40%. In this writing, we report three different cases those are diagnosed as a TB and treated.

Özet

Çocukluk çağı tüberkulozu (TB) morbidite ve mortalitenin önemli bir nedenidir ve tahminlere göre tüm vakaların %95’i gelişmekte olan ülkelerde bulunur. Gelişmiş ülkelerde çocukluk çağı tüberkülozunun tüm vakalara katkısı %3-6 iken, gelişmekte olan ülkelerde bu oran daha büyüktür (%15-20). TB’un tanısı çocuklarda oldukça güçtür, nadiren doğrulanır ve çoğunlukla klinik bulgular, semptomlar, erişkin ile temas hikayesi ve özel araştırmalara dayandırılır. Çocuklarda TB, az sayıda basil içeren yapısından dolayı, genellikle yayma negatiftir. Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (MT) kültürü ile bakteriyolojik doğrulama tanıda altın standarttır, ancak nadiren %30-40’ı geçer. Bu yazıda, TB tanısı alan ve tedavi edilen üç farklı TB olgusunu sunmak istedik.
