'Every day, more than 200 children under the age of 15 die needlessly from tuberculosis (TB) - a disease that is preventable and curable. The World Health Organization estimates that as many as 1 in 10 TB cases globally (6-10% of all TB cases) are among this age group, but the number could be even higher because many children are simply undiagnosed.' Childhood TB is emerging from the shadows. This quote comes from the recently launched international roadmap towards zero TB deaths in children. We provide a brief update of new developments and remaining challenges related to childhood TB, with particular emphasis on the new roadmap.
每天，超过200名15岁以下儿童无谓地死于结核病——一种可预防且可治愈的疾病。世界卫生组织估计，全球每10例结核病病例中就有1例（占所有结核病病例的6%-10%）发生在这个年龄组，但实际数字可能更高，因为许多儿童根本未被诊断出来。儿童结核病正逐渐走出阴影。这句话出自最近发布的《儿童结核病零死亡国际路线图》。我们简要介绍一下与儿童结核病相关的新进展和尚存的挑战，特别强调这份新路线图。
