Objectives: Identify potential barriers, delays, and missed opportunities in the prevention and diagnosis of childhood TB. Methods: ScopingreviewaccordingtothePRISMAextension.The definitions considered for these election followed the acrony mPCC where the population(P) is childre nunder 18 years ofage withTBdisease,the concept(C )refers to missed opportunities for prevention and diagnosis,and context(C)is defined as a diagnosis of TBdisease. The authors searched systematically in the databases;VHL/Lilacs,Medline via PubMed,Cochrane,Scopus,and Web of Science,with out date or language limitation.Results: Seven studies were included. In developed countries, with low disease burden, the main short coming is the delay in diagnosing bacilliferous adults in contact with young children.This problem is concentrated in the portion of the population with socioeconomic vulnerability.
In underdeveloped countries, with a high burden of disease, the biggest challenge is tracking children who come into contact with bacilliferous patients. Conclusions: There are still many missed opportunities in the prevention and diagnosis of childhood TB. The positive legacy of the COVID-19 pandemic should be taken advantage of and the encouragement of scientific development in the management of infectious diseases should be taken.
