Abstract

Presentation of pulmonary tuberculosis in the pediatric age group is usually insidious, and the diagnosis is difficult. This case study presents a 9-year-old girl with primary pulmonary mediastinal tuberculosis. Efficacy of computerized tomography in the diagnosis, management and follow-up of the disease is emphasized.
