| Summary: | The review of modern literature presents the results of studies characterizing the development mechanisms of latent tuberculosis infection and residual post-tuberculous changes in children. It was noted that with the introduction of new technologies (computer programs, immunological tests) into the practice of a phthisiopaediatrician, small calcified foci in the intrathoracic lymph nodes and lungs, previously invisible with traditional radiation methods of examination (plan radiography, fluorography), began to be detected more often. The authors concluded that the special state of mycobacteria, which form in individuals with a special type of immune system, is essential. This determines the state of latent microbism underlying the development of latent tuberculosis infection and residual posttuberculous changes in children. |
