Tuberculosis pulmonar

Abstract

La tuberculosis (TB) es la principal causa de muerte por un solo agente infeccioso en el mundo y contribuye de forma notable a la mortalidad infantil. Sin embargo, la TB pediátrica ha sido una epidemia oculta por su escasa capacidad infectiva y menor incidencia comparada con adultos. Actualmente, las mayores limitaciones son las dificultades en el diagnóstico y la ausencia de formulaciones pediátricas óptimas. A pesar de que en nuestro medio la mortalidad por TB pediátrica es excepcional, existe una importante morbilidad ocasionada especialmente por las formas extrapulmonares. Además, aunque España es considerada un país de baja incidencia, es el país de Europa occidental con el mayor número de casos. El papel del pediatra de Atención Primaria es fundamental en el abordaje inicial de estos pacientes y de las familias, así como en el seguimiento y acompañamiento de la enfermedad.
