Includes bibliographical references (leaves 151-165). Aim: To describe the spectrum of tuberculosis in children <15 years of age attending Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital between January 2006 and December 2008. Methods: A retrospective review of a paper-based Notifications Register and a database of culture-confirmed tuberculosis were undertaken. Laboratory and clinical data were analysed. Results: 1,314 episodes of tuberculosis were identified amongst 1,300 children. 433 (33%) of all cases were culture-confirmed; however, 120 (27.7%) of all culture-confirmed cases were not recorded in the paper-based Notifications Register. Conclusions: To improve the clinical service, detection of HIV co-infection in children undergoing evaluation for tuberculosis should be enhanced and strategies adopted to ensure that all children with culture- confirmed disease are notified and access antituberculosis therapy. 2015-01-01T12:46:31Z 2015-01-01T12:46:31Z 2010 Master Thesis Masters MPhil http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10863 eng application/pdf Department of Paediatrics and Child Health Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town |
