Overview

Retrospective analysis found 4.2% TB positivity in polio-negative AFP cases under 15, suggesting integrated surveillance can enhance pediatric TB detection.

Key Points

  • The integration approach detected tuberculosis in 4.2% of polio-negative AFP cases under 15 years old.
  • Out of 118 tested children, most were under five years, indicating a high yield in this age group.
  • Data were analyzed using chi-square tests and logistic regression to assess TB positivity factors.
  • This method may improve early TB detection in regions with high childhood mortality rates from tuberculosis.
