Abstract: Infancy is a period of diminished natural immunity and lack of specific immunity. It is also time of close contact with family members. This facilitates the transmission of the infection of tuberculosis, if someone of the family members is ill. We present twins under the age of one with two different forms of tuberculosis : severe paratracheal lymphadenitis and hematogenous - disseminated tuberculosis. The age and the degree of the involvement made the diagnosis and treatment a difficult process.
Keywords: Tuberculosis, Infants, Hematogenous - Disseminated Tuberculosis.
