Unusual manifestations of tuberculosis in children

Tubercle
T C Okeahialam

Abstract

Tuberculosis is still a major paediatric problem in many parts of Africa, and the diagnosis may be missed because of the unusual and varied clinical features in some children. This is illustrated by 5 cases which have been described who presented with (a) unilateral swelling of the leg associated with inguinal lymphadenopathy; (b) subcutaneous emphysema; (c) 'cystic lung' disease; (d) respiratory stridor and (e) abnormal behaviour.
