Infants and children living with HIV who have poor weight gain, fever or current cough, or who
have a history of contact with a person with TB, should be evaluated for TB and other diseases
that cause such symptoms. If TB disease is excluded after an appropriate clinical evaluation or
according to national guidelines, these children should be offered TB preventive treatment,
regardless of their age.
