We reviewed autopsy data from general hospitals in Lviv, Ukraine to understand pediatric mortality due to tuberculosis (TB). We identified 14 (0.6%) of 2345 autopsied children with unrecognized or untreated TB. More sensitive TB diagnostics for children and improved strategies for identifying which children require TB evaluation are urgently needed.
我们查阅了乌克兰利沃夫综合医院的尸检数据，以了解儿童结核病（TB）死亡情况。我们在 2345 名接受尸检的儿童中发现了 14 例（0.6%）未被识别或未经治疗的结核病。迫切需要为儿童提供更敏感的结核病诊断方法，并制定更好的策略来确定哪些儿童需要进行结核病评估。
