Introduction: We assessed the risk of tuberculosis (TB), the management and the outcomes of 0-5-year-old children after TB contact investigations in a low-burden setting.

Method: All 0-5-year-old children who attended the TB clinic of Robert Debre Hospital, Paris, France, for a TB contact investigation between June 2016 and December 2019 were included in this retrospective study. The risk factors for TB were assessed using univariate and multivariate analyses.
