TB is a preventable and curable disease, yet it is a common cause of sickness and death in children and adolescents. Every year, more than one million children and young adolescents fall ill with TB. Young children are at increased risk of severe disease and death; adolescents are at increased risk of disease that can be readily transmitted. Important gaps remain in finding children and adolescents with TB and in providing TB treatment and TB preventive treatment to children and adolescents.

This e-course gives practical guidance on key elements of the management of TB in children and adolescents. An important feature of the e-course is the use of interactive case studies that will give you the opportunity to put your new knowledge and skills into practice.
