Tuberculosis and comorbidity in children in time and age aspects
Objective: to assess the pattern of clinical forms of tuberculosis and concomitant pathology in children in time and age aspects. Four groups of children who had fallen ill with tuberculosis in 1995–1999 (n=149), 2001–2005 (n=429), 2006–2010 (n=385), and 2011–2015 (n=350) were identified. In Groups...

| Summary: | Objective: to assess the pattern of clinical forms of tuberculosis and concomitant pathology in children in time and age aspects. Four groups of children who had fallen ill with tuberculosis in 1995–1999 (n=149), 2001–2005 (n=429), 2006–2010 (n=385), and 2011–2015 (n=350) were identified. In Groups 1, 2, 3, and 4, isolated respiratory organ injury involved by tuberculosis was found in 96.6. 83.0, 87.6, and 92.6% of cases, respectively (χ2 =28.418; р=0.000). In Groups 1–4, generalized tuberculosis was diagnosed in 2, 5.1, 8.8, 5.1% of children, respectively (χ2 =10.821; р=0.016). Comorbidity was detected in 49.0, 73.2, 88.1, and 80.3%, respectively (χ2 =97.985; р=0.000). Cardiovascular disease was prevalent in children aged 12–14 years (42.1%) (χ2 =27.678; р=0.000). In the time aspect of over 20 years, the children with tuberculosis were twice more frequently found to have comorbidity, which may be related not only to the better quality of diagnosis, but also to decreased health levels in the children. Infants were more vulnerable in the context of comorbidity. |
