  • Title: [The epidemiological and clinical aspects of extrapulmonary tuberculosis in children and adolescents in Primorsk Region].
    Author: Motanova LN, Bezuglaia SIu.
    Journal: Probl Tuberk Bolezn Legk; 2004; (1):5-8. PubMed ID: 15137134.
    Abstract:
    The incidence of extrapulmonary tuberculosis has been studied in children and adolescents in the Primorye Territory in 1996 to 2001. There is a decrease in the incidence and prevalence of extrapulmonary tuberculosis in both children and adolescents, which does not reflect the true situation as the process is more frequently diagnosed on their referral in the period of late clinical manifestations. Young age children have fallen ill more frequently (54.7%); 76% of the patients were identified on their referral. Most children are permanent residents and live in the high- and middle-class families. In the clinical pattern, there were predominant ostcoarticular forms of tuberculosis running with a complication of the underlying disease in 80%. The study suggests that there are great gaps in the detection of extrapulmonary tuberculosis in children.
