Childhood tuberculosis poses unique challenges in diagnosis and treatment, requiring a tailored approach to meet the unique needs of young patients. In this article, we present a literature review of the characteristics of childhood tuberculosis treatment, including diagnostic challenges and specific treatments available. By reviewing existing research and clinical guidelines, we aim to highlight the specifics of TB treatment in children and highlight the importance of a holistic approach to care.
