Why is Pediatric TB Still Missed?

Despite medical progress, tuberculosis in children remains underdiagnosed. It's not just about treatment โ€” it's about awareness and early suspicion. Drawing on decades in the field, four major barriers stand out:

  • Vague symptoms โ€” often confused with common coughs or colds.
  • Complex diagnostics โ€” pediatric TB is harder to confirm with standard tools.
  • Low suspicion โ€” it's often the last thing considered by clinicians.
  • Social stigma โ€” fear keeps families from seeking timely help.

The goal is #TBMuktBharat โ€” moving from "waiting to treat" to "actively finding" cases. Early suspicion = timely diagnosis = a healthy future. ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ
