We present a review of diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis in children and teenagers. Diagnosis in children is based on epidemiologic relations, X-ray examination, and tuberculin skin test. Bacteriology confirmation is difficult because children do not have any sputum expectorations. The treatment uses a combination of antituberculotic in the length of 9 months.

Keywords: tuberculosis of children and youngsters, diagnosis, treatment, BCG vaccination
