A case of disseminated miliary tuberculosis in a five-year-old child.

A five-year old girl was referred, by the local area medical officer, as she had a positive Mantoux test and a chest x-ray consistent with miliary tuberculosis. She had initially been identified three months previously as a contact of a case of open pulmonary tuberculosis. A CT scan of the brain at the time of presentation showed multiple intracranial tuberculomae. A CT Brain scan three months into the treatment regime showed a significant reduction in the number and size of nodules indicating a favourable response to treatment. This case emphasises the importance of rapid tracing of paediatric tuberculosis contacts, if serious complications and their consequences are to be avoided.
