  • Obravnava otroka ob stiku s tuberkuloznim bolnikom = Management of children exposed to a patient with tuberculosis
    Borinc Beden, Andreja, dr. med. ; Maček, Vasilija
    Background The article presents diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations forchildren, who have been exposed to a person with contagious tuberculosis. We stress the importance of recognition and ... treatment of latent tuberculosis infection which substantially reduces the risk of progression to tuberculosis disease.Children exhibit few clinical signs and symptoms which are rarely specific enough to indicate the tuberculous patient. Most of the radiographic manifestations reflect the compression of major airways by enlarged lymph nodes. Conclusions Because the incubation period of disseminated tuberculosis in young children can be very short, children exposed to adults with pulmonarytuberculosis should be investigated without delay. Any delay in diagnosis and therefore treatment, may lead to severe and even life-threating complications.
