| Abstract |
|
Unlike hematogenous spread in miliary tuberculosis, disseminated pulmonary tuberculosis is
considered to be spread by non-hematogenous transbronchial with characteristic chest X-ray appear-
ance.
This type of spread is unusal in childhood pulmonary tuberculosis.
We are reporting 4 such cases from 1984 to 1986 with chest X-ray findings.
In city hospital where most patients come from low-income families, we see significant number of
children with various types of tuberculosis.
In 1986,15% of total pediatric out-patients was diagnosed as tuberculosis. This data is much higher
than 2 〜 5.8% reported by other hospitals in recent years. |
