Cavitary pulmonary tuberculosis in children is uncommon in areas with a low tuberculosis burden. We present two cases in an 11-year old immunocompetent girl and an 8-year old immunocompromised boy. Both children were immigrants. No other cavitary tuberculosis cases have been observed in a population of 103,781 children in Crete, Greece for the past 25 years.
Severe forms of tuberculosis may re-emerge and BCG vaccination should remain part of the immunisation programme in immigrant populations.
在结核病负担较低的地区，儿童空洞型肺结核并不常见。我们报告了两例病例，一例是一名11岁免疫功能正常的女孩，另一例是一名8岁免疫功能低下的男孩。两名儿童均为移民。在过去25年里，希腊克里特岛103781名儿童中未观察到其他空洞型肺结核病例。
严重形式的结核病可能会再次出现，卡介苗接种应仍是移民人群免疫规划的一部分。
