To make an early diagnosis and decision for prompt treatment of the children with tuberculosis, we analyzed 61 cases in both inpatients and outpatients for the clinical and laboratory characteristics.<BR>One forth of the 61 cases were below 1-year-old, and 43 cases (70.5%) had a positive family history. The tuberculin test revealed that all of the 61 cases were positive, and 18 of them had a strongly positive reaction (≥30 mm). Although the serum levels of inflammatory markers including white blood cells counts, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and CRP value increased only slightly in most cases, serum IgM levels in 59.0% of the children with tuberculosis were twice to three times higher than those in normal average levels. Especially in 96.2% of the children hospitalized for the need of isolation the IgM levels were demonstrated high.<BR>Thus, in children with tuberculosis the detection of serum IgM levels as well as family history, tuberculin reaction, and chest X-ray findings may be helpful for the early diagnosis and prompt decision of hospitalization.
