The clinical presentation of tuberculosis in children can take many forms. This paper describes six cases seen within a 12-month period at a regional department of infectious and tropical diseases. Three of the cases had meningeal disease, two had pulmonary infection and one had miliary disease. They illustrate the difficulties of accurate diagnosis and its importance in choosing the most effective treatment. Guidelines are provided on the management of childhood tuberculosis.
