Article Synopsis
- The study reviewed medical records of 200 children with tuberculosis in Libreville, Gabon, focusing on those aged 0-15 from 2011 to 2021 to gather vital data on pediatric TB.
- 141 children's cases were analyzed, revealing a 75.24% cure rate, with higher death rates in older children and a correlation between recovery and higher hemoglobin and platelet counts.
- The research highlights the need for improved treatment strategies like directly observed therapy (DOTS) in vulnerable populations and suggests that hemoglobin and platelet counts are key indicators of prognosis in pediatric TB cases.
