Pediatric tuberculosis (TB) in Canada is mainly diagnosed in Aboriginal and foreign-born children, and children of foreign-born parents. • About one-third of adolescents with TB in Canada have extrathoracic disease. • Tuberculosis may mimic many conditions: specimens for TB culture are crucial for diagnosis. • Best results are achieved if treatment is conducted by a team that includes physicians with experience in the management of pediatric TB.
