Global burden of childhood tuberculosis

Pneumonia

Table 2 Annual estimated burden of childhood tuberculosis (TB) among children aged 0–4 years^a

Measure	Estimate (Interquartile range)	Fraction of all pediatric TB (0–14 years of age)
TB incidence	435,000 (278,000–651,000)	51.4%
Isoniazid-resistant TB	42,200^b	50.2%
Multidrug-resistant TB	12,700 (8,020–19,000)	51.2%

^aAll estimates are from Dodd et al. 2016 [21]
^bNote that Dodd et al. 2016 produced an estimate of INH-R TB mono-resistance of 29,500 (IQR: 18,800 - 44,300) cases. The figure presented of 42,200 represents all forms of INH-R (i.e. mono-resistance plus MDR-TB) but because this was not formally estimated in Dodd et al. 2016, there is no IQR around this result
