Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the top ten killers of children and infants worldwide. Globally, it is estimated that up to 140,000 children die of TB each year and over half a million are infected. Children with TB are less likely to be infectious than adults, which is why childhood TB has not been a priority within national healthcare programs. Young children are at particular risk of developing severe, often fatal or lifelong disabling forms of TB. If children are living with HIV they are even 20 to 30 times more likely to develop TB than children who are not infected with HIV.
