Abstract:

Tuberculosis (TB) is a global public health problem that seriously endangers children’s health. Children aged 14 and under account for 11% of the global TB burden but 14% of TB deaths. Adult secondary TB mostly originates from childhood MTB infection. Improving the awareness of childhood TB and increasing the investment in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of childhood TB are the key links to effectively control the incidence and mortality of childhood TB, which is of great significance for the control of TB in children and adults.
