Diagnosis and management of pediatric tuberculosis in Canada

CMAJ has been made aware of an error that occurred in the Jan. 9, 2017 issue.¹

The flow chart in Figure 1 contains one error. The first statement in the middle box in the last row should have been, “If TST negative and patient is well.”

Figure 1:

Management of treatment in children exposed to infectious tuberculosis (TB). IGRA = interferon gamma release assay, TST = tuberculin skin test. Adapted from Paediatr Child Health 2015;20:83–8.

This has been corrected at cmaj.ca.
