Resumen en ingles
Over the past 15 years, and despite many difficulties, significant progress has been made
to advance child and adolescent tuberculosis (TB) care. Despite increasing availability of safe
and effective treatment and prevention options, TB remains a global health priority as a major
cause of child and adolescent morbidity and mortality—over one and a half million children and
adolescents develop TB each year. A history of the global public health perspective on child and
adolescent TB is followed by 12 narratives detailing challenges and progress in 19 TB endemic
low and middle-income countries. Overarching challenges include: under-detection and underreporting
of child and adolescent TB; poor implementation and reporting of contact investigation
and TB preventive treatment services; the need for health systems strengthening to deliver effective,
decentralized services; and lack of integration between TB programs and child health services.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant negative impact on case detection and treatment
outcomes. Child and adolescent TB working groups can address country-specific challenges to close
the policy–practice gaps by developing and supporting decentral ized models of care, strengthening
clinical and laboratory diagnosis, including of multidrug-resistant TB, providing recommended
options for treatment of disease and infection, and forging strong collaborations across relevant
health sectors.
