ABSTRACT

La Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) informa que ocurren 1.1 millones de casos de tuberculosis (TBC) en niños <15 años. En Chile se observa un aumento de casos en el tiempo. La pandemia por SARS-Cov2 ha implicado una disminución de la pesquisa y un retardo de la atención y diagnóstico de TBC. Se presenta dos casos clínicos de tuberculosis en adolescentes. El primero corresponde a un adolescente con una tuberculosis pulmonar de difícil y tardío diagnóstico, habiéndose descartado inicialmente TBC por estudio molecular y PPD no reactivo. El segundo caso corresponde a un adolescente con una tuberculosis pulmonar y extrapulmonar de diagnóstico tardío, de 8 meses de evolución, posterior a un cuadro leve de Covid.


The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that 1.1 million cases of tuberculosis (TB) occur in children <15 years of age. In Chile, an increase in cases is observed over time. The SARS-Cov2 pandemic has led to a decrease in screening and a delay in care and diagnosis of TB. Two clinical cases of tuberculosis in adolescents are presented. The first corresponds to an adolescent with TB of difficult and late diagnosis, having initially ruled out TB by molecular study and non-reactive PPD. The second case corresponds to an adolescent with pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis of late diagnosis, of 8 months of evolution, after a mild respiratory infection of Covid.
