Computed tomography with normal chest radiograph in tuberculous infection.

摘要: Children with primary tuberculosis infection without disease must be identified and treated preventively to avoid an increase in the incidence of children. However, recognition infected cases is often difficult. In particular, minimal active may present many but unrecognised on chest radiography. Computed tomography was therefore performed 15 children tuberculous a normal radiograph measure size their mediastinal lymph nodes. Ten control were also evaluated. When compared controls it found that nine (60%) had enlarged Adenopathies more frequent less than 4 years old those over 8 old. The demonstration raises question adequate treatment for these It proposed two drug regimen would appropriate isoniazid alone cases.
