Table 2.

Annual estimated burden of childhood tuberculosis (TB) among children aged 0–4 yearsa

Measure Estimate (Interquartile range) Fraction of all pediatric TB (0–14 years of age)
TB incidence 435,000 (278,000–651,000) 51.4%
Isoniazid-resistant TB 42,200b 50.2%
Multidrug-resistant TB 12,700 (8,020–19,000) 51.2%

aAll estimates are from Dodd et al. 2016 [21]

bNote that Dodd et al. 2016 produced an estimate of INH-R TB mono-resistance of 29,500 (IQR: 18,800 - 44,300) cases. The figure presented of 42,200 represents all forms of INH-R (i.e. mono-resistance plus MDR-TB) but because this was not formally estimated in Dodd et al. 2016, there is no IQR around this result
