  • Title: Pulmonary tuberculosis in five young infants with nursery exposure: clinical, radiographic and CT findings.
    Author: Kim KI, Lee JW, Park JH, Kim SY, Park HJ, Choi PJ, Lee KN, Kim HJ, Lee SH.
    Journal: Pediatr Radiol; 1998 Nov; 28(11):836-40. PubMed ID: 9799313.
    Abstract:
    Clinical, radiographic (n = 5) and CT findings (n = 4) of five Korean infants ranging in age from 2 to 3 months with confirmed tuberculosis were retrospectively analysed. All of the patients were symptomatic, anergic to tuberculin, and had a positive culture of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in gastric aspirates. The probable source of infection was the hospital in which they were born. CT scans demonstrated hilar and mediastinal lymph node enlargement with central low attenuation and peripheral enhancement in all cases. CT may be useful in diagnosis by demonstrating characteristic adenopathy and disseminated disease in young infants.
