[Current problems of tuberculosis during the developmental age].

Surely the tuberculosis manifestation now prevailing in pediatric subjects is minimal disease, according to several papers. Also in this field, tuberculin test is very important, mostly when we can observe its positive change, in spite of BCG vaccinated subjects. Then Author examines the so-called "latent" tuberculosis, in which only a lateral projection radiograph or a tomography can show radiological pictures of hilar adenopathy or of minimal parenchymal involvement in lower pulmonary fields. Author considers the dosages of antitubercular drugs in children and at last he invites all sanitary operators to carefully survey the subjects working in nurseries.
