  • Title: [X-ray findings in pulmonary tuberculosis in children and its complications].
    Author: Baccialone J, Gendrel D, Kalifa G.
    Journal: Ann Pediatr (Paris); 1992 May; 39(5):281-8. PubMed ID: 1616243.
    Abstract:
    Pulmonary tuberculosis is still a common disease in children, especially those of immigrant families. Prevention and diagnosis rest on the plain chest film which should remain the first step of the work-up. Apart from cerebromeningeal complication, CT scan is also useful for evaluating chest lesions including mediastinal lymphadenopathies and lung parenchyma involvement. CT scan combined with endoscopy ensures detection of complications including bronchogenic dissemination. With a few cases as illustrations, the role of roentgenographic investigations in the management of pediatric tuberculosis is outlined.
