Bağışıklanmamış İki Kardeşte Farklı Tüberküloz Klinikleri: Kaviter Akciğer Tüberkülozu ve Tüberküloz Plörezisi
Tuberculosis is a health problem that preserves its importance in devel-oping countries and populations with low socioeconomic means. The treatment process is long-term, laborious, costly and has high morbidity and mortality with many complications. The most important step to get rid against this disease is to prevent contamination. For this purpose, routine vaccination and chemoprophylaxis of the contacts are of great importance. In this case report, while examining different tuberculosis presentations in the pediatric population, we emphasized the importance of vaccination and screening the households that the index pa-tient is in contact with, the treatment of patients, and the importance of chemoprophylaxis in contacts
