  • Title: Fatal tuberculosis in young children.
    Author: Harris VJ, Schauf V, Duda F, White H.
    Journal: Pediatrics; 1979 Jun; 63(6):912-4. PubMed ID: 109806.
    Abstract:
    Three young children with advanced cavitary pulmonary tuberculosis died between 1974 and 1978. Two of the patients had tuberculous meningitis as well. All diagnoses were verified at autopsy; however, all tuberculin skin tests were negative. These instances emphasize the difficulty of establishing the diagnosis of tuberculosis in young children. Tuberculosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cavitary chest disease in young children, even those with negative tuberculin skin tests.
