    Author: Kritsaneepaiboon S, Andres MM, Tatco VR, Lim CCQ, Concepcion NDP.
    Journal: Pediatr Radiol; 2017 Sep; 47(10):1249-1259. PubMed ID: 29052770.
    Abstract:
    Tuberculosis in childhood is clinically challenging, but it is a preventable and treatable disease. Risk factors depend on age and immunity status. The most common form of pediatric tuberculosis is pulmonary disease, which comprises more than half of the cases. Other forms make up the extrapulmonary tuberculosis that involves infection of the lymph nodes, central nervous system, gastrointestinal system, hepatobiliary tree, and renal and musculoskeletal systems. Knowledge of the imaging characteristics of pediatric tuberculosis provides clues to diagnosis. This article aims to review the imaging characteristics of common sites for extrapulmonary tuberculous involvement in children.
