Abstract
The objective: to study clinical and epidemic characteristics in children with newly diagnosed post-tuberculosis changes.
Subjects and Methods. Medical records of 78 children with newly diagnosed post-tuberculosis changes were analyzed; all those children were followed up by Voronezh Regional TB Dispensary in 2021.
Results. Children aged 8-11 years, 35/78 (44.8%) prevailed among the study subjects, no infants (0-3 years) were enrolled in the study. 24/78 (31%) children were exposed to a tuberculosis case. Most children (93.6%) were immunized with BCG-M but postvaccine scar was detected in only 48% of them. 37/78 (47.4%) patients had a hyperergic response to tuberculosis recombinant allergen. After detection of post-tuberculosis changes, 56/78 (71.8%) children received preventive treatment of tuberculosis, while 22 patients had no preventive treatment since their parents gave no consent.
