“…[40][41][42] Es importante considerar el tiempo de involución, para no descartar por completo un caso sospechoso; un 40% de los niños con infección tuberculosa presentará involución de las adenopatías 6 meses después del primer contacto con un enfermo y desaparecerán en el 30% de los casos al año del contacto con un bacilífero. 12,43 Las adenopatías son las lesiones más comunes en los niños, pero también pueden observarse otros hallazgos, 44 sobre todo en aquellos con enfermedad tuberculosa o enfermedad tuberculosa primaria progresiva, como el patrón de consolidación, que se localiza frecuentemente en los segmentos posteriores de los lóbulos inferiores y es secundario al escaso drenaje linfá-tico. 12,41,42,45,46 Khalilzadeh y cols.…”

RESUMENLa tuberculosis es uno de los padecimientos con mayor incidencia mundial. La infección se presenta cuando el Mycobacterium tuberculosis ingresa al organismo, y la enfermedad surge cuando se altera el estado inmunológico, nutricional y de vacunación. El diagnóstico en los niños se basa en el antecedente de contacto, la prueba de la tuberculina, la radiografía de tórax y el hallazgo microbiológico del bacilo; estos criterios ayudan a realizar un diagnóstico y tratamiento más tempranos, lo cual permite romper el ciclo biológico del M. Tuberculosis y evitar el incremento en la morbimortalidad de una comunidad. Palabras clave: baciloscopia, diagnóstico, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, niños, tuberculosis infantil. SUMMARYTuberculosis is one of the conditions with higher incidence worldwide. Infection occurs when Mycobacterium enters the body, and its progression to disease occurs when immune, nutritional and vaccination status are altered. The diagnosis in children is based on elements such as contact history, tuberculin test, chest radiograph and microbiological finding of the bacillus, so these criteria will help us to make an early diagnosis and treatment, breaking the life cycle of M. tuberculosis, preventing an increase in morbidity and mortality in a community.

“…Since it is difficult to make a diagnosis based on bacteriology, diagnosis of tuberculosis in children strongly relies on radiological findings and tuberculin skin test results [5]. Relevant radiological features detectable by chest X-ray are: enlarged mediastinal/hilar lymphadenopathy, primary complex of Ranke, pneumonic infiltration, abscess, cavity, calcification, plural effusion and empyema [6]. Mediastinal lymphadenopathy which is considered as a radiological hallmark of primary TB, could be hard to detect by chest X-ray alone.…”

Background:Imaging is the mainstay of diagnostic criteria in tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis, especially in children; however, the exact role of chest X-ray (CXR) and thoracic CT scan (TCT) still remains controversial. The aim of this study is to compare digital chest X-ray and thoracic CT scan in childhood tuberculosis. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective comparative study, 38 children under 15 years old with proved diagnosis of TB who were admitted to Massih Daneshvari hospital during 2010 to 2012. Digital chest X-ray and spiral thoracic CT was performed before starting medication. Results: Direct smear for acid-fast bacillus was positive only in 38%. Positive tuberculin skin test was seen in 51% of the cases. Chest X-ray was normal in 36.8% of children, while CT scan was negative only in 21%. Overall sensitivity of thoracic CT scan and chest X-ray were 78.9% and 63.2%, respectively which show no significant difference. CT scan detected lymphadenopathy, nodule/nodular infiltration, collapse and pleural effusion/ thickening significantly better than chest X-ray; however, there was no significant difference between CXR and TCT in detection rate of consolidation/ground glass opacity, bronchiectasis, cicatricial volume loss and cavity/abscess. Conclusions: This study proposed that investigation of children suspicious of tuberculosis by digital chest X-ray is still of great value. It seems that thoracic CT scan in children suspected of tuberculosis infection can be limited only to investigation of complications in selected patients.
