What is New in the Diagnosis of Childhood Tuberculosis?

The fact that almost half of the 1 million cases of childhood tuberculosis (TB) globally remain undiagnosed jeopardizes the TB elimination goal. Fortunately, there are new advances in this field which have the potential to bridge this diagnostic gap. Advances in imaging include computer assisted interpretation of chest X-rays (CXRs), point of care ultrasound (POCUS) and faster and superior computed tomography/ magnetic resonance imaging (CT/ MRI) protocols. The urine lipoarabinomannan test has proved to be a good point of care test for diagnosing TB in Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected children. Stool and nasopharyngeal aspirates are emerging as acceptable alternatives for gastric lavage and induced sputum for diagnosing intrathoracic tuberculosis. Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra has improved sensitivity compared to Xpert MTB/RIF for diagnosing both pulmonary/ extrapulmonary TB. Xpert XDR is another commercially available accurate point of care test for detecting resistance to drugs other than rifampicin in smear positive samples. Other molecular methods including new line probe assays, pyrosequencing, whole genome sequencing, and targeted next generation sequencing are extremely promising but not available commercially at present. The C-Tb skin test is an acceptable alternative to the tuberculin skin test and interferon gamma release assays for diagnosis of latent infection. There is an urgent need to incorporate some of these advances in the existing diagnostic algorithms of childhood TB.
