Clinical and radiological profile of children with tuberculosis and their response to fixed dose combination anti-tubercular treatment.

Tuberculosis (TB) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in children especially in endemic countries. Childhood TB constitutes 10%-20% of all TB cases in high burden countries and accounts for 8%-20% of TB related deaths. Globally, nearly 1 million cases of TB and 2,33,000 TB related deaths occurred in children less than 15 years in 2018. Childhood TB reflects uncontrolled adult TB in a community.
