RESUMO
Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) to diagnose tuberculosis (TB) was assessed in 131 children under 5 years old hospitalized with severe acute malnutrition. Of these, 23% had confirmed or unconfirmed TB and 5% were HIV-infected. There were no POCUS findings associated with TB diagnosis. POCUS visualization quality was satisfactory for 65% and examination acceptability was "good" for 52%.
