TB and SAM tutorial objectives

Paediatrics

The document presents a detailed case scenario of a young male patient with cough, fever, weight loss, and signs of severe wasting. Physical examination findings include pallor, purpura rash, lymphadenopathy, and digital clubbing. Investigations reveal hilar lymphadenopathy on chest X‑ray, and the working diagnosis is pulmonary tuberculosis with a differential of HIV and severe acute malnutrition. The tutorial sections outline learning objectives for paediatric TB and SAM, covering epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnosis, management, complications, and prevention. References to the IMAM guidelines for Uganda 2020 and WHO hospital care for children are provided.
