Tuberculous intoxication in children

Remember:

• Pirke's reaction helps to check if a child is infected with tuberculosis;
• if a positive reaction to Pirke is established, further medical examination is necessary;
• medications help prevent the development of local forms of tuberculosis, as well as the transition of early tuberculous intoxication into a chronic one;
• medication should be given gently, following a prescribed course by the doctor;
• drug treatment should be combined with proper regimen and rational nutrition.
