Drug-resistant tb in children
WHO estimates that of 9.4 million cases of tuberculosis (TB) worldwide in 2008, 440,000 (3.6%) had multidrug-resistance TB MDR. Childhood TB is estimated in 10-15% of the total burden, but little is known about the burden of TB MDR in children. Children in close contact with TB MDR cases are likely to become infected with the same resistant strains and are vulnerable to develop the disease. Although TB MDR is a microbiological diagnosis, children should be treated empirically according to the drug susceptibility result of the likely source case, as cultures cannot be often obtained from children. TB MDR treatment in children is guided by the same principles, using the same second-line drugs as in adults, with careful monitoring for adverse effects. Preventive therapy for high-risk TB MDR contacts is necessary, but no consensus guidance exists towards the mode to manage these cases. Pragmatic and effective infection control measures are essential to limit the spread of TB MDR. |
