Аннотация
An infant was admitted for evaluation of respiratory distress and tracheomalacia. After several weeks of hospitalization, both the infant and her mother were diagnosed with culture-positive pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). Sixteen pediatric patients and 293 health care workers were evaluated for exposure to Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Tuberculin skin test conversions occurred in 6.7% of patients and 1.9% of pediatric health care workers. While nosocomial transmission of TB is relatively rare in children's hospitals, this report highlights the differences between TB control efforts in pediatric vs. adult facilities, including the importance of screening the adult visitors of children admitted with suspected TB.
