Infantile tuberculosis: a study of 187 cases

187 cases of child's evolutive tuberculosis were diagnosed during 6 years in the Pediatrics department of the children's hospital of Casablanca. Among these observations 107 are pleuro-pulmonary and 80 extra-respiratory forms including mainly ganglionic [39 cases] and abdominals [37 cases] lesions. The frequency of the child's tuberculosis justifies an energitic policy of eradication of this illness which is based on preventive vaccination and treatment of contagious patients
