Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

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