Abstract

Trends in RM with 2 TU PPD-L were analysed in 71 children at the time of detection of tuberculosis of intrathoracic lymph nodes (TITLN). The disease is often diagnosed in children getting infected with tuberculosis infection. Monotonous tuberculin tests represent the most frequent variant of tuberculin allergy at the time of TITLN diagnosis in children. Careful follow-up of children with monotonous RM (2 TU) may improve TITLN outcomes.
