Guidance for national tuberculosis programmes on the management of tuberculosis in children
Abstract: The first edition of Guidance for national tuberculosis programmes on the management of tuberculosis in children was published in 2006. It resulted in the revision or development of guidelines for child TB management by national TB programmes in many TB-endemic countries. Now, however, newly published evidence and new recommendations have made it necessary to update the original 2006 guidance.
This publication contains a number of important changes or additions to the first edition. It also has separate chapters dealing with issues that were covered only in annexes to the first edition (management of TB/HIV in children and of drug-resistant TB in children) and introduces new topics such as the importance of integrated care.
