Epidemiology of Pediatric Tuberculosis in the United States, 1993–2006 Surveillance, Epidemiology, and Outbreak Investigations Branch Division of Tuberculosis Elimination Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
Pediatric TB—Background • Definition of pediatric tuberculosis (TB):TB disease in a person <15 years old • In 2006, • 13,779 TB cases were reported among all age groups • 807 (5.9%) were pediatric
TB Case Definition and Verification • Incident case of disease • Case verification categories: 1) Laboratory confirmed cases-”Gold Standard” - Positive culture, DNA probe, or nucleic acid amplification test - Positive AFB smear when culture not attainable 2) Clinical case definition - Positive tuberculin skin test - Signs and symptoms of TB disease - Current treatment for TB disease 3) Provider diagnosis: - Diagnosed by health care provider - Does not fulfill all criteria necessary to meet laboratory or clinical case definitions
