儿童结核病（TB）反映了持续的传播。分析了2008年和2009年瓦拉纳西地区修订的国家结核病控制计划下结核病登记的儿童结核病数据。儿童结核病占登记病例总数12 242例的8.3%。在流行地区，这一比例低于估计的10-20%。在农村结核病单位，儿童病例发现率很低。≤5岁的病例检出率极低，儿童期病例主要集中在青少年期。因此，在印度，儿童结核病仍然是一种诊断不足/报告不足的疾病。应重视儿童结核病的发现，以控制一般人群结核病。
Childhood tuberculosis (TB) reflects on-going transmission. Data on childhood TB from TB registers under Revised National Tuberculosis Control Program of 2008 and 2009 in Varanasi district was analyzed. Proportion of childhood TB was 8.3% of total registered cases 12,242. It was lower than estimated 10-20% in endemic areas. In rural Tuberculosis Units childhood case detection was poor. Case detection in ≤5 years was very less. The childhood cases were detected mainly in adolescent age group. Thus, childhood TB is remaining a under diagnosed/under reported disease in India. It needs attention to increase the detection of childhood TB cases to control TB in general population.
