J
Thus
many instances new
cases are cnught in the ‘bud’ and
the more mature cases brought
under control.
The TB case studies of cases
during the past years found that
children under 15 years of age
were not affected very much by
the disease. For this reason TB
has been declared an adult disease.
In most test cases, where chil
dren were found under 15 years
of age with TB, some adult mem
ber of the family had the disease.
