Abstract
At present the epidemiological situation with tuberculosis is improving and the incidence of tuberculosis in children is decreasing. Nurses are actively involved in all activities of prevention and medical care for tuberculosis in pediatric practice. Highly organized TB interventions are largely associated with the work of a nurse from birth until the age of 18, accompanying the child from the maternity home until the adolescent enters the general health care system. The organization of tuberculosis interventions differs by age periods. The article presents anti-tuberculosis measures with the accent on the work of a nurse, as a physician assistant, both in prevention and early detection of tuberculosis.
