The number of pediatric tuberculosis patients is steadily declining, but along with this, society's awareness is fading, and there are concerns about delays in the detection of tuberculosis and a decline in the ability of medical institutions and government agencies to respond to outbreaks. For this reason, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government is co-sponsoring a pediatric tuberculosis case review meeting with Dr. Osamu Tokunaga of the National Hospital Organization Nankyo Hospital.

Lecture materials

The metropolitan pediatric tuberculosis case review meeting (2020) has been cancelled.

We will post the materials distributed at the venue about the research report of Dr. Osamu Tokunaga, the chief pediatrician of the National Hospital Organization Minami-Kyoto Hospital.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government would like to continue this study group in order to solve problems related to pediatric tuberculosis.
While the number of tuberculosis patients is declining, there are even fewer cases of pediatric tuberculosis.
In order to help prevent childhood tuberculosis in the metropolitan area, we ask for your cooperation in presenting cases from public health centers and medical institutions in the metropolitan area.
