    Abstract

    Tuberculosis (TB) is uncommon in Australian children, but its rate is increasing. Diagnosis can be difï¬cult, especially in infants. With parental permission, we present an infant born in Sydney to Paciï¬c Islanders to emphasise the contagiousness, difï¬culty in early diagnosis and possibility of rapid decline. In New Zealand, Paciï¬c peoples are known to have a high rate of TB.
