Manifestation of TB in children can be predicted based on the Walgreen Timetable highlighted below:
Pulmonary tuberculosis – within a few months of primary infection.
Miliary and meningeal tuberculosis –2-6 months. TB adenitis - 3-9 months. Bones and joints – several years. Renal and genital tuberculosis –may take over a
decade.
Pulmonary lesions occurring as a result of reactivation of a dormant focus previously established in the body takes a number of years after primary infection.
