Abstract
Pediatric tuberculosis is a proxy indicator for the tuberculosis (TB) burden in the community. Although there has been a decline in the incidence, it is inadequate to meet the global goals for complete eradication of the disease. Childhood TB remains a challenge for clinicians and program managers. Advances in the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric tuberculosis are discussed in this review.
