Sažetak
225 cases of tuberculosis were discovered among 271 suspected cases in a total number of 19, 623 children below 18 years of age admitted during the 1993-2003 decade to the county hospital (1.38%). The number increased from 3 patients with tuberculosis in 1993 to 59 in 2003. Latent infection accounted for 40.1%, specific hilar lymphadenopathy to 22.1%, primary lung tuberculosis to 18.0%. We attribute high incidence of childhood tuberculosis in our region to the sequellae of migration during military activities in Croatia and Bosnia (1991-1995) and to the post- war recession.
