La Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) informa que ocurren 1.1 millones de casos de tuberculosis (TBC) en niños <15 años. En Chile se observa un aumento de casos en el tiempo. La pandemia por SARS-Cov2 ha implicado una disminución de la pesquisa y un retardo de la atención y diagnóstico de TBC. Se presenta dos casos clínicos de tuberculosis en adolescentes. El primero corresponde a un adolescente con una tuberculosis pulmonar de difícil y tardío diagnóstico, habiéndose descartado inicialmente TBC por estudio molecular y PPD no reactivo. El segundo caso corresponde a un adolescente con una tuberculosis pulmonar y extrapulmonar de diagnóstico tardío, de 8 meses de evolución, posterior a un cuadro leve de Covid.
