Management • Diagnostic : • CBC : Hgb 136, hct 40, wbc 14.1, seg 77, lym 14, apc 297 • Chest Xray • Sputum AFB • Started Cefuroxime 500 mg/tab 3x a day for 7 days • Follow up after 1 week
On Follow Up, OPDAugust 30, 2013 S = No fever, + cough, (-) cold, improving chest pain, fair appetite. Father (+) cough, (-)hemoptysis, noted with weight loss. O = awake ambulatory, not in distress T= 36.7oC , CR = 90, RR = 20, BP = 90/60 No rashes, no scrofuloderma Pink palpebral conjunctivae, anicteric sclerae, - CLADs, non congested tonsil, no ear discharge. Adynamic precordium, no murmur Symmetrical chest expansion, no chest retraction , clear breath sound. Soft abdomen, flat, no organomegallywarm equal full pulse, CRT < 2 seconds.
On Follow Up, OPDAugust 30, 2013 Sputum AFB negative day 1, day 2, day 3 Chest xray official result : compared with study done outside (date could not be discerned, from the available Chest xray film) there are now increased reticular infiltrates in both lower lobes with interspersed peribronchial cuffings and cystic lucencies with honeycomb appearance. There are few fibroids in the left lung apex. The rest of the lung are clear, the heart is normal in size, diaphragm and sulci are intact. Thoracic dextroscoliosis is evident. No other remarkable findings. Impression : Pneumonia with bronchiectatic and or bronchitis changes. Minimal left lung apical fibroids.
Radiologic Findings for TB in Children • A presumptive diagnosis of Pulmonary TB is acceptable in symptomatic patients with suggestive findings on Chest Xray • This maybe sufficient to initiate treatment after due consideration of benefits and risk to the individual • Radiographic terms will be used to describe structural or anatomic extent of the disease, and not to imply activity status of the disease • The term “minimal” or “extensive” should be used to describe the advance of disease • The use of mobile CXR facilities with miniature film should not be used for interpretation and commitment to a diagnosis of PTB Clinical practice guidelines for Tuberculosis 2006 Update
Radiologic findings for TB in Children Some commonly used terms in radiographic findings • Cavity : a focus of increased density whose central portion has been replaced by air, may or may not contain air fluid level. Surrounded by a wall usually of variable thickness • Ciccatricial changes/atelectasis : refers to volume loss found in patients with local or general pulmonary fibrosis, secondary to fibrotic contraction, compliance is decreased • Fibrosis : scarring of lung parenchyma Clinical practice guidelines for Tuberculosis 2006 Update

Approach to Diagnosis of Tuberculosis in Children • History , including history of TB contact and symptoms consistent with TB (Epidemiologic) • Clinical examination, including growth assesment • Tuberculin Skin testing (Immunologic) • Chest Xray (Radiologic) • Bacteriological confirmation if possible (DSSM, PCR, Culture) • Investigation of suspected source of infection • HIV testing WHO 2006 Guidance for NTP on Management of TB in children
CLINICAL MANIFESTATION “TB symptomatic” is defined as a child with any 3 or moreof the following signs and symptoms: • Cough/ wheezing of two weeks or more • Unexplained fever of two weeks or more • Either loss of appetite , loss of weight, failure to gain weight, or weight faltering • Failure to respond to two weeks of appropriate antibiotic therapy for lower respiratory tract infection • Failure to regain previous state of health after two weeks of a viral infection or exanthem • Fatigue, reduced playfulness, or lethargy Integrated DOTS Training for Hospitals Modules, National TB Control Program, National Center for Disease Prevention and Control, Department of Health, 2013
