MANAGEMENT OF TUBERCULOSIS IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS

MANAGEMENT OF TUBERCULOSIS IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS

A Clinical Guideline for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Drug-susceptible TB in Children and Adolescents in South Africa.

South Africa published its first national paediatric TB guideline in 2013: ‘Guidelines for the management of tuberculosis in children. This document replaces the 2013 guideline with updated recommendations on diagnosing, treating, and managing TB in children and adolescents, including recommendations on treatment shortening for non-severe TB. This new guidance is aligned with the updated WHO guidelines but has been adapted specifically for the South African context.
