Diagnosis and management of pediatric TB especially Extra pulmonary TB (EPTB) is challenging.Objectives: The present study was designed to study clinical, laboratory characteristics and outcome of childhood tuberculosis. Methods: A prospective analysis of 60 cases of TB children within three years period was conducted at Pediatric Department, Dhulikhel Hospital and followed up till child completely recovered.Results: In the present study 60 children had clinical and lab evidence of tuberculosis and received anti tubercular therapy. Extra pulmonary tuberculosis was common (78.3%) than pulmonary tuberculosis (21.6%). BCG scar was absent in eight (13.33%) and absent BCG vaccination was significantly associated with disseminated TB (p<0.05). The most frequently seen symptoms were fever (65 %), cough (46.67 %) and abdominal distension (36.67%). Hepatomegaly (45%), ascites (33.33%), lymphadenopathy (23.33 %) and splenomegaly (11.67 %), and are common signs. Malnutrition seen in (33.3%) with more malnourished children with disseminated TB than in other diagnosis (p<0.001). Mantoux test was positive in (48.3%). Isolation of AFB was possible only in (8.33%). Among 60 cases (60%) were recovered completely with the primary regimen, (5%) recovered with extending the duration of primary regimen to three more months. (25%) failed to follow up, while (6.67%) died.Conclusion: EPTB is common than pulmonary TB. Among 60 cases 36 (60%) recovered completely with the primary regimen, three cases (5%) recovered with extending the duration with primary regimen. Fifteen cases (25%) failed to follow up, while four cases (6.67%) died.Key words: Children; Tuberculosis; Diagnosis; Outcome DOI: 10.3126/jnps.v31i1.4160J Nep Paedtr Soc 2010;31(1):11-16" @default.
