Description
Summary:Early detection and diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) infections are one of the most urgent problems of childhood TB, as it is based mostly on a set of attributes (epidemiological, clinical, radiological, laboratory) due to lack of the possibility of obtaining diagnostic material for microbiological examination for the majority of patients. Immunological skin tests play an important role in this process as an opportunity to define the formation of high-risk groups for TB, followed by additional methods of inspection to confirm or exclude the disease.
