Abstract
An usually high rate of both tuberculosis infection and active disease is r
eported in 11 of 38 nursery children in contact with a case of smear positi
ve pulmonary tuberculosis, emphasising the susceptibility of young children
to this disease. This report also underlines some important principles in
case finding and disease control.
