Abstract
Tuberculosis is one of the major infections affecting children world-wide. The epidemiology of paediatric tuberculosis in Europe reflects world-wide trends, with significant differences in rates of disease between resource-poor nations and those with well-funded tuberculosis control programmes. The highest rates of disease occur in Eastern European countries, with increasing rates of disease in children resulting from increasing numbers of infectious adults within communities. Western European nations continue to have low rates of tuberculosis, with a large proportion of disease occurring in recent immigrants from high-burden countries, particularly those in Sub-Saharan Africa.
