 Hello everyone, I am Dr. Archana, I am the Associate Consultant, Infectious Disease Specialist at Manipal Hospital, Oral Airport Road, Bangalore. The child can present with many non-specific symptoms. Basically, the symptoms in a child depends on the age of presentation of the child and also the type of tuberculosis. The child who presents with a persistent fever of more than two weeks duration or a persistent non-remittent of more than two weeks duration with weight loss or inadequate weight gain should be suspected of having pulmonary tuberculosis. Any child who is having other than pulmonary tuberculosis, the symptoms depend upon the type of tuberculosis. That is, suppose if the child presents with a lymph node tuberculosis, they present with painless swellings usually in the neck area or if they present with abdominal tuberculosis, they can present with prolonged fever and constipation or loose tools or abdominal pain or if they present with a bone and joint tuberculosis, they present with joint swelling. So the symptoms vary based on the type of tuberculosis. In children, especially less than two months and less than two years, they are at high risk for TB meningitis. So they can present with change in consciousness, that means altered sensorium, or they can present with seizures, headache, irritability.
