AB Tuberculosis (TB) in children represents one of the best examples of
what we have termed an adultosis--a disease inflicted by adults on
children and not by children on adults--and which can be acquired by
direct contact or by the indirect result of various types of abuses,
such as social ones. The same socioeconomic and political failures that
have allowed TB and HIV to remain uncontrolled in many countries have
also contributed to the emergence of multiple-drug resistant (MDR) M.
tuberculosis. These older and newer challenges of TB in children and
some approaches to their resolution are briefly discussed here.
