TB screening and evaluation
TB, lethargy, fatigue, fever, wheezing, cough, weight loss
DISEASE, FAILURE TO THRIVE
In both the intervention and control arms, eligible children will be clinically evaluated using the national TB screening tool. TB screening will focus on major pediatric symptoms including fever, cough of 2 weeks or more, wheezing, reduced playfulness or unusual fatigue, lethargy, visible mass in the neck, weight loss, or failure to thrive based on clinical report and/or the growth chart in the child’s medical record and immunization record (i.e., Road to Health Booklet). Ultimately the child will either be started on TPT (if TB disease is ruled out) or TB treatment.
